The asymmetric polyphase filter makes it possible to suppress the mirror signal not at HF, but after quadrature demodulation at a low IF. The most important parameters for the polyphase filter are a high dynamic range and a good mirror signal suppression. This paper reports on the realisation in a 1.2 /spl mu/m CMOS process of a 5th order Butterworth polyphase filter with a bandwidth of 220 kHz centered around 250 kHz. Its measured mirror signal suppression is 64 dB. The active-RC implementation renders a 94.2 dB dynamic range at the input.","PeriodicalId":256846,"journal":{"name":"Digest of Technical Papers., Symposium on VLSI Circuits.","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115363833","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}

CG, in particular, requires enormous amount of FP multiplications to obtain high quality images required for multimedia systems. To realize high speed, the critical path delay must be minimized. In this paper, we discuss a method to shorten the delay time of the critical path. Then we present an FP multiplier design based on the method. A special function for CG is also implemented without increasing the critical path delay. Finally, we show the fabrication and test results of the FP multiplier.","PeriodicalId":256846,"journal":{"name":"Digest of Technical Papers., Symposium on VLSI Circuits.","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128304770","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}
