This work presents guidelines for the design of an on-chip ramp signal generator for static Built-In Self-Test (BIST) of ADCs. The proposed ramp generator is based on a fully-differential switched-capacitor (SC) integrator conveniently modified to produce a very small integration gain. The main non-idealities affecting the linearity of the generator are discussed on a practical implementation in a...
An on-chip buck converter with 3D chip stacking is proposed and the operation is experimentally verified. The manufactured converter achieves a maximum power efficiency of 62% for an output current of 70mA with a switching frequency of 200MHz and a 2x2mm on-chip LC output filter in 0.35mum CMOS. The use of glass epoxy interposer to increase the maximum power efficiency up to 71.3%, and the power efficiency...
A delay-locked loop of multi-band selector with wide-locking range and low power dissipation is presented. The architecture of the proposed delay-locked loop consists of phase frequency detector, charge pump, band selector, multi-control delay line, and start-up circuit. The multi-band selector is used to extend operation frequency of delay-locked loop by switching the multi-control delay line. The...
Class D amplifiers are becoming the most feasible solution for embedded audio application. However, distortions due to the non-linear nature of switching stage are the main drawback for this amplifier topology. This paper discusses the design and implementation of high fidelity audio class D using sliding mode control scheme. This design method proves to be a cost effective solution for industrial...
A new low-jitter polyphase-filter-based frequency multiplier incorporating a phase error calibration circuit to reduce the phase errors is presented. Designing with a multiplication ratio of eight, it has been fabricated in a 0.13-mum CMOS process. For input frequency of 25 MHz, the measured jitter is 2.46 ps (rms) and plusmn9.33 ps (pk-pk) at 200-MHz output frequency, while achievable maximum static...
