These performances are due both to a new efficient gain stage with a compact layout and to a simple way to obtain a high CMRR. Simulation experiments have been performed with three different (0.8 /spl mu/m, 1.2 /spl mu/m, 2.4 /spl mu/m) CMOS technologies. In particular for the 0.8 /spl mu/m one, the main performances-under single 5 V power supply are a unity gain bandwidth of 40 MHz, a phase margin of 63 degrees, a slew rate of 60 V//spl mu/s, all performed on heavy load such as 2.5 k/spl Omega//spl par/20 pF. Simulated results have been experimentally confirmed for the 2.4 /spl mu/m CMOS technology for which we have measured a low frequency CMRR of 100 dB.","PeriodicalId":356572,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE-CAS Region 8 Workshop on Analog and Mixed IC Design.

The D/A-converter is a binary weighted current-switching converter with 8-bit resolution. The uni-directional D/A-output currents are converted to bi-directional input currents for a differential current-mode 1 MHz low-pass filter by a common-mode feedforward circuit. The smoothing filter and current gain amplifier use high-gain current amplifiers using dynamically biased low distortion transconductance output stage. The filtered and amplified current is then fed to a current-switching mixer with off-chip loads. The filter operates with down to a 3 V supply voltage while the D/A-converter can operate even with 2.5 V supply. The harmonic distortion of the filter is typically lower than -50 dBc and thus more than 8-bit spurious free range can be achieved by oversampling.","PeriodicalId":356572,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE-CAS Region 8 Workshop on Analog and Mixed IC Design.

To meet these insatiable needs, combining analog and digital functions into a single chip has been an unavoidable path to follow. As a matter of fact, analog and digital real time signal processing is compatible now to a single chip solution. This integration, far for being a mere collage of already circuits and macros (in fact, if was until the early '80s that ICs vendors attempted commercial mixed-mode designs) asked the ICs design community to cultivate technologies where the analog and digital \"incompatibilties\" can, on the contrary, coexist. This paper, in the attempt to deal with the genesis and evolution of mixed-mode ICs wants, through practical examples, firstly to report about the increasing complexity of this kind of products (from a simple digital interface to DSPs and micros embedded together with analog functions) and secondly, to describe the obstacles (ranging from technology to CAD) still challenging the ICs designer and often hiding the real productivity of mixed-mode integrated circuits.","PeriodicalId":356572,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE-CAS Region 8 Workshop on Analog and Mixed IC Design.

The current consumption of the converter circuit is 2 mA from 2.7 V power supply when using a power saving scheme in which the resolution per stage is moderately relaxed towards the LSB. The digital RSD (Redundant Signed Digit) principle is used to correct the errors caused by the mismatch in the gain factor 2 and the comparator offsets.
