A high and low speed output buffer with controlled slew rate is proposed for Universal Serial Bus (USB) applications. This novel output buffer design is low cost due to its easy realization in a digital CMOS process. The disclosed output buffer has been integrated in a complete USB transceiver circuit. Based on measured silicon data, satisfactory functions of the whole USB application IC have been obtained.

This paper presents a BIST design suitable for detecting multiple stuck-open faults in two-level CMOS single complex cells. The test pattern generator (TPG) generates a sequence of length 2n.2/sup n/ that includes all n.2/sup n/ single-input-change (SIC) ordered test pairs for an n-input circuit under test (CUT). The signature analyzer (SA) counts the number of alternate transitions at the output. Design of the corresponding TPG and SA is straightforward.

In this paper, we propose a contrast control for image improvement of multi-gray scale image. The proposed method does not require filed and frame memory for computed data. In addition, we propose that a contrast control can improve image regardless of input gray level. The proposed method can be easily applied to the FPD for real-time processing because of its lower hardware complexity compared to conventional methods. Also it can flexibly control the contrast of input gray level by varying the weight values that control the contrast range. The function of the proposed method has been verified using Synopsys VHDL and computer simulation. In addition, its results show that the proposed method can effect image improvement.

This paper describes a switched-capacitor type DC-DC up converter with high efficiency and low-ripple output. Identical charge pumps operating sequentially in the proposed DC-DC converter reduce the magnitude of output voltage ripples to 20% of the conventional converters. A new charge pump adopting PMOS switches near the output stage improves the power efficiency of the DC-DC converter by 10%. The proposed DC-DC converter is applied, as a test vehicle, to a phase-locked loop circuit which is sensitive to power supply noise. All circuits are simulated and fabricated in a 0.65-/spl mu/m CMOS process.

This paper presents hybrid-level charge recycling scheme which can be helpful in implementing low power LCD column drivers. The proposed scheme eliminates the necessity of polarity reversing circuit of the conventional method, simplifying the control. Another technique which merges two external capacitors into one is also described. This makes the multi-level recycling operation in column driving IC more practical.

This paper describes a 10 b 100 MS/s CMOS digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for cable modem applications. Differential switches with the proposed deglitching circuit and the cascode current sources, separated from the unit decoded current cell matrix improve the dynamic performance. The proposed and conventional prototype DAC's are fabricated in a 0.35 /spl mu/m CMOS process. The measured differential and integral nonlinearities of the proposed DAC shows /spl plusmn/0.17 LSB and /spl plusmn/0.43 LSB at a 10b level, respectively. At 100 MS/s, the spurious-free dynamic range is 66 dB for a 100 kHz input signal and 52 dB for a 10 MHz input signal.

By Volterra series analysis using only several device parameters (Cje,/spl beta/,/spl tau/, and rb), the high-frequency nonlinear behavior of cascode amplifiers is analyzed. To verify the validity of this simple analysis, theoretical analysis, simulation, and measurement of intermodulation behavior of cascode amplifier are compared. The results show that simple Volterra series analysis agrees with the simulation and measurement, varying with emitter degeneration inductor and bias current. This simple Volterra series analysis is suitable to estimate the nonlinear characteristics and gives an insight into the conceptual circuit analysis.
