The total power consumption in both the mixer and the output stage is only 22 mW. The signal to distortion ratio has been measured to be more than 30 dB. A thorough analysis of the harmonics caused by the nonlinearity of the mixer transistors is performed. The theory is confirmed by the measurements on the presented circuit. The chip has been processed in 0.4 /spl mu/m CMOS technology.

This chip integrates four 32 MHz channels for twisted-pair cable digital communication using a 0.5 um digital CMOS process. The implementation features all major analog signal processing blocks on chip with a minimum number of offchip passive components. A PLL is used to provide transmit clocks as well as to center four pairs of gated VCOs for data synchronization. A 1st-order adaptive equalizer is designed to provide proper high-frequency boosting for different lengths of connecting cables. A current-mode filter with direct current amplification is used to provide output pulse shaping to conform 25.6 Mbps ATM output waveform templates. The power dissipation is measured at 1.3 W (325 mW per channel) during full operation of all 4 channels.

This paper describes the full function model of a phase-locked loop (PLL) in a logic simulator. In contrast to conventional models that bypass the PLL function, this Verilog model accurately represents all major characteristics of a PLL. It allows the simulation of the effect of the actual filter elements. It can accurately model clock deskew of a clock tree as well as synthesize other frequencies from the input clock. It produces a clock detect signal after a realistic lock sequence. The user has the option to add jitter to the PLL output. The model performs three orders of magnitude faster than an equivalent circuit model.

A wide dynamic range and high transimpedance Si bipolar preamplifier IC for 10-Gb/s optical fiber links is described. A limiting amplifier was introduced after the transimpedance stage to overcome the trade-off between high transimpedance and a wide dynamic range. A high transimpedance of 1 k/spl Omega/ and a wide input current dynamic range up to 2 mApp were achieved with a bandwidth of 10.5 GHz, a low transimpedance fluctuation of 0.5 dB/spl Omega/, and an equivalent input noise current density of 12 pA//spl radic/(Hz), using 35-GHz Si bipolar technology.

An ultra low voltage, low power CMOS D/A converter using a simple multi-input floating-gate MOSFET to perform the dual function of current source and current switch is described. The outcome of this approach is very low supply voltage operation and yet maintaining high conversion accuracy. An experimental 6-bit D/A converter has been fabricated in a standard 1.2 /spl mu/m CMOS technology with V/sub th//spl ap/0.9 V and occupies 0.63 mm/sup 2/ active area. Measurement shows a single 0.9 V supply is sufficient to operate this converter, with less than 0.46 LSB linearity error, 5 MS/s conversion rate and 320 /spl mu/W power dissipation.

A single chip system for real-time encoding and decoding for MPEG2, except for motion estimation, can be created by integrating two 250 MHz dual issue RISC processor cores with a small dedicated hardware for the variable length encoding/decoding (VLC/VLD) and block loading process. The estimated area for the encoder, 27.7 mm/sup 2/ using a 0.3-micrometer CMOS process, is 20% smaller than that of the dedicated hardware approach. An approach that uses dual issue RISC processors has the advantage of a smaller chip area and also that of being very easy to program for multimedia applications.

In this work we present a DFT strategy to test embedded Charge-Pump Phase Locked Loops (CP-PLL) in systems incorporating boundary scan, wherein the proposed DFT allows the verification of the operating frequency range of the CP-PLL while the system is in test mode. This is achieved with a minimal degradation in PLL performance, with lock characteristics remaining unchanged. Simulation results with the layout extracted netlist of the CP-PLL are used to illustrate the working of the technique.

In this paper we present the first multi-layer graph-based router which can handle obstacles on any layer. We show that it improves the performance of a maze router with rip-up and reroute (RR) when obstacles are present. The graph-based router combined with a maze router with RR has yielded the best reported routing results for multi-layer problems with or without obstacles on any layer.

This paper describes a wide frequency range phase-locked-loop (PLL) clock generator embedded in a gate array LSI using 0.25 /spl mu/m CMOS/SIMOX technology. This generator supports internal clock frequency to external clock frequency ratios of 2,4,8, and 16. The PLL has two kinds of voltage-controlled oscillators that are selected automatically according to the frequency so as to widen the operating frequency range while keeping jitter low. Measured results show that the PLL operates with a lock range from 5 to 400 MHz. At 400 MHz, the peak-to-peak jitter is 50 ps. The supply voltage is 2 V and power dissipation is less than 14 mW.
