These topologies frequently apply polyphase filters for noise and image signal attenuation. When using active-RC implementations of single pole or direct synthesis structures, the number of operational amplifiers and thus power consumption becomes high. To confine the latter, a Sallen-Key based polyphase filter is presented in this paper which reduces the amplifier amount by one half. Furthermore, the system theoretic method used for circuit design is shown. Results are verified by Cadence simulation.","PeriodicalId":404629,"journal":{"name":"2008 15th IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits and Systems","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132628297","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 requirement of fast and steady charger becomes the most important issue for power management ICs. Refer to the characteristics of the battery, how to charge the battery with adequate current and fasten the time of charging is critical to the devisers. Due to the impedance of battery pack, the energy of charger charged to cell is consumed in it partly. As a result, the efficiency of charger is reduced inevitably. The previous design has proposed a dynamic circuit for reducing time [1]. However the technique demands the external device to compensate the defeat. Thus, this paper extends the period of the CC mode to charge the battery with a faster speed. Owing to the shifting voltage on the reference voltage, the charger can delay the time that the operation mode from CC mode to CV mode. That is a fast-charging charger can be achieved by a large constant current stored in the battery during a long constant current period. Simulation results verify the success of the fast-charging technique due to the internal resistance compensation.","PeriodicalId":404629,"journal":{"name":"2008 15th IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits and Systems","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128908771","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}
