This paper presents a new CMOS buffer circuit topology for radiofrequency (RF) applications based on a fully-differential voltage-combiner circuit, capable of operating at low-voltage. The proposed circuit uses a combination of common-source (CS) and common-drain (CD) devices. The simulation results show good levels of linearity and bandwidth. To improve total harmonic distortion (THD) a source...

We investigate a fluid buffer which is modulated by a stochastic background process, while the momentary behavior of the background process depends on the current buffer level in a continuous way. Loosely speaking the feedback is such that the background process behaves `as a continuous-time Markov chain' with generator Q(y) at times when the buffer level is y, where the entries of Q(y) are con...

Introduction: The class-AB buffer amplifier is widely used for driving heavy resistive or capacitive loads [1–4]. Some buffer amplifiers employ a pseudo-source follower, which has a pair of complementary common-source transistors with two feedback loops consisting of a pair of complementary error amplifiers [1–2]. Employing error amplifiers introduces the excess phase shift and makes the freque...

The voltammetric behaviour of Sulfadoxine (SDN) was studied at a glassy carbon electrode in 0.2 M phosphate buffer solutions using cyclic, differential-pulse (DPV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV). The dependence of the current on pH, concentration, and scan rate was investigated to optimize the experimental conditions for the determination of SDN. The oxidation process was shown to be diffusi...

A new high performance second-generation CMOS current conveyor architecture is presented. It is built using a differential flipped voltage follower as its input buffer stage and a cascode current mirror as output stage. It is characterized by very low output impedance. It provides gain independent high bandwidth when used to implement a programmable gain voltage amplifier. Simulation and experi...

It is introduced a new genetic algorithm to synthesize the negative-type second generation current conveyor (CCII-) by superimposing a voltage follower (VF) with a current follower (CF). First, the VF and CF are described by binary genes. Second, the gene CF is inverted, rigth-shifted and multiplied (AND operation) with the gene VF to verify that both genes can be superimposed to synthesize the...

A fully integrated pulsewidth modulator for Class-S power amplifiers is presented. It consists of a triangular signal generator, a comparator and output buffer. The HBT BiCMOS design of PWM circuit is applied to the LTE frequency range, which converts digitally modulated 955MHz RF carrier with 2.87GHz sampling clock. This PWM shows an EVM 6.6%, a differential output voltage swing 1.35Vp-p with ...

Although sensors used in the majority of high-performance seismometers are capacitive, the performance of present commercial instruments is less than what it could be--due to the choice of less-than-optimal electrode configurations. The detector in commercial instruments has only one-half the symmetry of the patented symmetric differential capacitive (SDC) transducer, also known as 'fully diffe...
