Analog CMOS peak detect and hold circuits. Part 2. The two-phase offset-free and derandomizing configuration
نویسندگان
چکیده
An analog CMOS peak detect and hold (PDH) circuit, which combines high speed and accuracy, rail-to-rail sensing and driving, low power, and buffering is presented. It is based on a configuration that cancels the major error sources of the classical CMOS PDH, including offset and common mode gain, by re-using the same amplifier for tracking, peak sensing, and output buffering. By virtue of its high absolute accuracy, two or more PDHs can be used in parallel to serve as a data-driven analog memory for derandomization. The first experimental results on the new peak detector and derandomizer (PDD) circuit, fabricated in 0.35 mm CMOS technology, include a 0.2% absolute accuracy for pulses with 500 ns peaking time, 2.7V linear input range, 3.3mW power dissipation, 250mV/s droop rate, and negligible dead time. The use of such a high performance analog PDD can greatly relax the requirements on the digitization in multi-channel systems. r 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All

متن کاملAnalog CMOS peak detect and hold circuits. Part 1. Analysis of the classical configuration
Peak detectors (peak-detect-and-hold circuits, PDHs) are a key element in nuclear electronics signal processing and have been incorporated as a fully integrated block in several front-end readout chips. In CMOS designs, the PDH uses an MOS current source as the rectifying element inside the feedback loop of a high-gain amplifier. However, the nonidealities in the amplifier and feedback elements...
متن کاملAnalog Peak Detector and Derandomizer for High-Rate Spectroscopy
A compact and accurate readout system has been developed for high-rate spectroscopy with multi-element detectors. The fully self-triggered system multiplexes the signals from 32 detectors into a novel peak detector, which also serves as a derandomizer. The captured pulse heights are stored as analog samples before being presented to the ADC along with the corresponding channel addresses. The pe...

The tremendous growth in wireless LANs has generated interest in technologies that provide higher data rates and greater system capacities. The IEEE 802.11a standard [1], based on coded OFDM modulation [2], provides nearly five times the data rate and at least 20 times the overall system capacity compared to the incumbent 802.11b wireless LAN systems [3]. This article describes the design chall...
