Q1 and Q2 form a "cascode" amplifier circuit. To compensate for the high-frequency rolloff of the photodiode, U1B is configured as Daylight modifications will drama...

Superharmonic injection locking is investigated in a new theoretical approach. Low power frequency dividers are designed using injection locked oscillators with cascode transistors. The Rockwell 0:5 m CMOS process is used to design a 3mW injection locked frequency divider in the 1800MHz frequency range. A 200MHz maximum locking range is achieved in simulations. 2SC3302 TOSHIBA NPN transistors a...

The effect of gate – drain/source underlap ( Lun ) on a narrow band LNA performance has been studied , in 30 nm FinFET using device and mixed mode simulations. Studies are done by maintaining and not maintaining the leakage current (Ioff) of the various devices. LNA circuit with two transistors in a cascode arrangement is constructed and the input impedance, gain and noise-figure have been used...

The LNA is implemented using 90nm CMOS technology. The cascode topology with single-ended source degeneration using inductor is employed. The high gain is achieved by using common-source (CS) amplifier. A different input matching as well as output matching topology may improve the efficiency and minimize noise of the LNA. An inductance network (Lg, Ls) is used for input matching. An interstage ...

This paper describes a 60-GHz differential power amplifier (PA) designed in a 120-GHz fT 90nm CMOS technology. It consists of three identical differential cascode stages with inter-stage matching implemented by wide-gap coplanar waveguide (CPW) structures and M6M5 plate capacitors. A double-stub network realized by CPWs provides more design freedom for the input matching. Load-pull simulation g...

* D Abstract --Lossless broad-band microwave active inductors for generalpurpose use in microwave circuits are proposed and their characteristics are discussed. These active inductors are composed of a common-source cascode FET and a feedback FET, and operate in a wide frequency range with very low series resistance. A maximum Q factor of 65 is obtained. Theoretically, it can reach infinity. Fu...

A fast settling multipath CMOS OTA for high speed switched capacitor applications is presented here. With the basic topology similar to folded-cascode, bandwidth and DC gain of the OTA are enhanced by adding extra paths for signal from input to output. Designed circuit is simulated with HSPICE using level 49 parameters (BSIM 3v3) in 0.35 um standard CMOS technology. The DC gain achieved is 56.7...

In this paper, a formal design approach for the differential cascode voltage switch with pass gate (DCVSPG) logic is presented. This permits the design of any combinational logic function by the use of a k-map or by a modified QuineMcCluskey algorithm. The basic design approach used is based on pass logic and shows that a DCVSPG logic gate designed with minimum number of transistors may not alw...

In this paper we propose a design path for optimization-based device sizing of analog circuits. The design path offers an efficient and reliable way to implement high-performance analog integrated circuits without the explicit knowledge of an experienced designer. A key feature is that the partial cost functions are generated directly from the circuit topology. To demonstrate the functionality ...
