Cascode Circuits for Switched Current Copiers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Various cascode circuits are investigated with regard to their suitability for switched current copier applications. Generalized circuit representations are introduced and different cascode circuits are compared and discussed. A method called “reference voltage and current tracking” for dynamic output range improvement is proposed. An improved regulated cascode circuit with extended dynamic output range is presented. The use of cascode circuits in switched current copiers and the dynamic output ranges of these circuits are discussed and the corresponding saturation operating areas are compared.

A Switched-Current Bandpass Delta-Sigma Modulator
An eighth-order switched-current bandpass delta-sigma modulator is described. Simulations indicate that our 1.2pm CMOS implementation will achieve a S N R of 90dB in the band 10 MHzk150 KHz when clocked at 40 MHz. The modulator makes use of a switched-current resonator based on the N-path technique and the resonator employs regulated-cascode current-copiers to simultaneously achieve high speed ...
متن کاملA Systematic Approach for the Design of Ladder Based Switched Current Bandpass Filter
A systematic approach for the design of Switched Current (SI) ladder filters is described. The specifications of the filter in z-domain are used to obtain continued fraction expansions (CFE). Signal Flow Graphs (SFG) of each row of the expansion is derived and then these SFG are directly transformed into switched current structures (integrators and amplifiers). The SI blocks thus obtained are c...
