In this paper, a 3.2Gb/s CML transmitter with 20:1 multiplexer was developed for integrating with 8/10B encoders in high speed network applications. Compared with the common 10:1 multiplexer, this 20:1 transmitter reduces the required operating frequency in routers or switches by half. A double phase source coupled logic based differential circuit is used to achieve the 20:1 serialization with reduced noise effects. A low-power PLL is embedded for generating on chip dual phase clocks. A wide-band low power high speed CML output buffer could provide 250mV output voltage swing up to 10Gb/s. The overall chip size is 650mumtimes950mum with power consumption of 104 mW at 3.2Gb/s

The delay time of a regenerative comparator can be in the range of some tens of picoseconds. In this paper, an on-chip measurement technique is presented to obtain this delay time. For this task simple RC low-passes and different variants of implementing a fast XOR gate are examined to determine a short time difference, where after sampling the logic decision at the inverted and non-inverted output of the comparator, both outputs overlap with the same logical value. This time-difference is identified as the delay time of the comparator and occurs, if in the reset phase of the comparator the output nodes are pulled to the same logical value. An advantage of this technique is that only a DC voltage has to be measured outside the chip, which is proportional to the delay time and which is not influenced by bond wire inductances. A test-chip with the low-power comparator and a test-bed for delay-time detection was manufactured in a 120nm CMOS technology with a supply voltage of 1.5V. Compared with simulation results it turns out that a simple RC low-pass is sufficient for delay measurements. When applying a rectangular signal at the input of the implemented comparator, a minimal resolution of 8mV at a clock frequency of 1.5GHz was reached. The power consumption of the comparator was 160muW at 1.5GHz and the offset voltage was typically l0mV

Superconducting linear accelerators are becoming more and more complex. Despite of the growth of their scale they have to meet very demanding norms concerning availability and reliability. Taking into account these facts, high degree of automation is obligatory for several accelerator subsystems. This article aims at summing up the effort of improvement of expert system for RF-power station for the FLASH. The main purpose of this software is to facilitate operators with automatic driving the power supply subsystem. Owing to the high level of autonomy possessed by the software special care has to be taken to assure predictability and safety of AI-aided operation. To assure sound engineering foundations of the project, techniques that facilitate the reasoning about correctness and predictability its behaviour have been used. As a starting point of design finite state machine computational model has been chosen. After a couple of months of lighting with several approaches of the FSM design and facing state explosion problem new design emerged which is expected to be a lot easier to maintain and adapt to new requirements

The method of design of compositional microprogram control unit with codes sharing is proposed. The proposed method is based on application of special address transformer to form an address of microinstruction on the base of its representation as pair code of operational linear chain, code of components. Such approach permits to use all positive features of codes sharing independently on characteristics of interpreted flow-chart of algorithm. The proposed method permits to decrease the size of control memory in comparison with all known methods of such control units design. An example of proposed method application is given

The channel selection in direct-downconversion receivers can be performed using analog or digital filters or a combination of both. For an appropriate partitioning in early design phase knowledge about the power-performance tradeoffs of the building blocks is necessary without knowledge about too many implementation details. This paper proposes a method to carry out the noise-power trade-off of analog Gm-C filters. For a particular example where the demand on adjacent channel rejection is very high it is shown that the analog solution is very promising when compared to the digital channel selection

This paper demonstrates a silicon-germanium (SiGe) HBT power amplifier for time division synchronous code-division multiple-access (TD-SCDMA) application with a single positive 3.3V supply and fully integrated on-chip input and interstage matching network. For the code-division multiple-access environment, the power amplifier delivers 30dBm power output and provides power-added efficiency (PAE) of 34.8% and an adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) less than -35 dBc at 28 dBm. The power amplifier includes dynamic control bias circuits and a fully integrated power detector

This paper deals with the investigation of the temperature behavior of MOS-based sensors operating in the saturation region. A MOSFET transistor was integrated together with an N-pH-ISFET and used as temperature sensor to reduce the ISFET's temperature effect. The threshold voltage shifts of the MOSFET and pH-ISFETs transistors with temperature variations have been studied in real time. A result demonstrate the use of the MOSFET transistors as a temperature sensor and enables the understanding of the temperature influence on the pH-ISFET response using a FPGA signal acquisition system

An OC-48 phase-lock clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit is proposed, supported by system and circuit (CMOS 0.35mum) level simulation for SONET (2.488/2.688-Gb/s) transceiver applications. The CDR circuit exploits quarter rate linear phase detector. A novel quadrature ring oscillator using new active inductor is also introduced that operates at quarter rate of the original clock. Also for frequency locking this paper uses a lock detector. Making use of the frac14 linear phase detector (PD) facilitates the design of voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) and eliminates 1:4 demultiplexer and frequency divider since this topology directly produces recovered data
