A trade-off between linearity and efficiency exists in conventional power amplifiers. The outphase amplifying concept overcomes this trade-off by enabling the use of high efficiency, non-linear power amplifiers for linear amplification. An amplitude modulated signal is first decomposed into two constant amplitude, phase modulated signals that can be amplified using two high efficiency switching...

The main difference in topology of a boost bridgeamplifier and state-of-the-art class-D amplifier is in theconnection of a loudspeaker between a power supply and aswitching bridge. The boost bridge amplifier provides fourtimes higher peak power at the loudspeaker than the power,which can be achieved by a class-D amplifier from the samepower supply. Total harmonic distort...

A novel low noise trans-impedance amplifier is proposed using low cost 0.18 µm CMOS technology. A resistive-capacitive feedback is used to extend the bandwidth of the amplifier. As the structure is inductor less, it is suitable for low cost integrated optical interconnects. In this paper Improved Particle Swarm Optimization have applied to determine optimal trans-resistance and noise of propose...

In digital VLSI system the clock distribution network and flip flops are most power consuming components. The reduction of power consumption by clock distribution networks & flip flop makes the total VLSI system as low power VLSI system. In the earlier VLSI system design, different power consumption methods are followed to design the various flip-flops .The SABFF(sense amplifier based flip flop...
