Schreyer","doi":"10.1109/ISSCC.1977.1155710","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ISSCC.1977.1155710","url":null,"abstract":"THE USE of state-of-the-art circuit device interface techniques has made it possible to design a 5-W/5-GHz bipolar microwave power transistor: Figure 1. The device uses internal input and output matching circuits to combine the output power of six separate transistor cells. The transistor cell is a silicon bipolar device of an interdigitated structure employing refractory gold metalization, diffused emitter ballast resistors, an ion-implanted base, and a diffused phosphorus emitter. The most significant circuit technique used was to return the collector shunt inductor directly to the base bonding pad so that the reactive part of the output current does not flow in the common-mode inductance of the common base device; Figures 2 and 3. This reduction of current in the common-mode inductance reduces the detrimental effects of that parasitic element, allowing increased gain and stability. Gain and stability are also enhanced by the direct reduction of the common-mode inductance by double-bonding and by VZA holes through the Be0 substrate to return the base more directly to ground. The blocking capacitor for the collector shunt inductor is placed as close as possible to the transistor chips. Minimum distance between the transistor and the capacitor provides maximum real part transformation of the collector load impedance which reduces the VSWR that the remainder of the collector circuit must tune out and tends to reduce losses in the collector circuit. Also, the collector matching network is included entirely on the substrate to allow minimum VSWR at the internal-to-external circuit interface, and therefore, reduced losses at that interface. The input circuit is a minimum loss low-pass network allowing maximum transfer of drive power, while still maintaining an acceptable input match. To minimize the overall thermal resistance of the device, the six transistor cells are mounted such that there is a large physical separation between them. This layout provides The device as presented is capable of 250-MHz of bandwidth with circuit optimization. Overall bandwidth of over 500-MHz should be achievable with proper circuit optimization. Possible applications for this device or similar multicell devices are in transmitter amplifiers for troposcatter or satellite communications systems, phased-array radars, or as power oscillators for fuses or radar altimeters.","PeriodicalId":416313,"journal":{"name":"1977 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference.

While digital logic and analog comparison are readily performed in LSI form, analog arithmetic has been largely excluded. For this reason, most single chip A/D converters use counting algorithms (such as dual slope) which are slow but which require only modest analog capability. .4 cyclic A/D converter’ can provide both a means of implcmenting successive approximation A/D converters and a means of performing general purpose analog arithmetic. This type of converter is ideal for realization using precision-ratioed capacitors A prototy e circuit using an analog CMOS process has been fabricated . The circuit features A/D conversion rates of 5 ps per bit, infinite resolution, 10 bits accuracy, and programmability, on a 3200 square mil die area. A simplified schematic of the A/D converter is shown in Figure 1. Two amplifiers, five ratio-matched capacitors ( 5 1 C ~ ) and two switches form a recirculating analog shift register wlth a gain of two. Three switches permit loading the register with an analog input and adding or subtracting the reference. A comparator to test the sign of output V, completes the circuit. A timing diagram showing the circuit in operation is shown in Figure 2. To start conversion the register is cleared by bringing both V1 and V2 high while the input is sampled by connecting C1 to Vin. This forces both V, and Yy to zero. During the second half of the initial cycle, C1 is connected t9 the analog ground and VI is brought low. This causes a charge of Cl*VIN to flow from C1 to C2. Since C1 and C2 are equal in value this will cause V, to be equal to the sampled value of VIN, and the comparator will indicate the sign of the sampled voltage. To determine the next bit V2 is brought low and VI is raised, while C1 is connected to ground (if the sign was positive) or to VREF (if the sign was negative). This causes the voltage Vx to be transferred to Vy, while 17, is forced to zero. At this point the charge in C1 is k CL*VREF, and the charge in Cg is C~*VIN. 2","PeriodicalId":416313,"journal":{"name":"1977 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference.
