This brief presents two original implementations of improved accuracy current-mode multiplier/divider circuits. Besides the advantage of their simplicity, these original multiplier/divider structures present the advantage of very small linearity errors that can be obtained as a result of the proposed design techniques (0.75% and 0.9%, respectively, for an extended range of the input currents). The...
An analysis of a cascode source-follower with all transistors operating in saturation mode is presented. The new structure provides means to mitigate the effects of nonlinearities caused by transistor capacitances. It is also studied the effects of adding a sampling switch at the output of the source-follower. Performance results of 0.35µm CMOS implementation and dimensioning methodology of the resulting...
This paper describes a comparative analysis between two topologies of operational amplifiers to design a 40 MS/s 12-bit pipeline analog to digital converter (ADC). The analysis includes AC and transient simulation to select the proper topology. This ADC is implemented in a 0.35 mum AMS CMOS technology with 3.3 V single power supply. The capacitors and selected operational amplifiers were scaled for...
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 high intercept points, cost-effective, and power-efficient switching FET double balanced mixer (DBM) is reported. The Switching FET DBM demonstrated in this work offers input intercept points (IIP3) and conversion loss typically 44 dBm and 8.5 dB respectively with 15 dBm LO power for the frequency band (RF: 900-2150 MHz, LO: 850-1950 MHz, IF: 50-200 MHz). The measured interport isolation is typically...
