This white paper discusses a method for driving high-frequency sinusoidal ripple over capacitive loads for power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) testing, an important performance parameter for many electronic systems such as RF and wireless systems, power management systems, data converters, clocking systems, and high-speed serial interface systems. PSRR measures how well a circuit rejects ripple...

Adiabatic logic can offer significant power reductions in comparison to conventional CMOS circuits ([1], [2]). Although numerous architectures have been proposed in the literature for synchronous circuit implementations, not much work has been done on asynchronous logic due to the difficulties of such implementations. This paper presents a new adiabatic power supply controller for asynchronous ...
