Since the linearity of the cascoded amplifier degrades with the supply voltage decreasing, a three-stage cascaded amplifier is adopted. For the rail to rail output signal with high linearity, a special folded class-AB output stage current control circuit is incorporated in the amplifier. The minimum supply voltage can be reduced to VGS+2|Vdsat|. Fabricated with a 0.18 $mu mathrm{m}$ CMOS process, the amplifier with the loading resistance 100ohm achieves -85dB THD while operating from a 1.2V supply and using a 1kHz input sine wave.","PeriodicalId":186840,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Integrated Circuits, Technologies and Applications (ICTA)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116152397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The interpolation filter is one of the most complicated parts of motion estimation. However, meeting the requirements of real-time performance is difficult to realize by using a software. Thus, we propose in this paper an architecture for the interpolation filter that is easy to implement by using a hardware, and this newly designed architecture has high utilization of hardware resources. The design uses QUARTUS II integrated on Altera’s Stratix V series chips. The findings show that the utilization of hardware resources in this study is less than those reported in the existing literature. The maximum operating frequency of the hardware architecture proposed in this paper can reach 420.71 MHz, which supports real-time processing of 4K videos.","PeriodicalId":186840,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Integrated Circuits, Technologies and Applications (ICTA)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122764368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
