متن کاملOutput-Conductance Transition-Free Method for Improving Radio-Frequency Linearity of SOI MOSFET Circuits
In this article, a novel concept is introduced to improve the radio frequency (RF) linearity of partially-depleted (PD) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) MOSFET circuits. The transition due to the non-zero body resistance (RBody) in output conductance of PD SOI devices leads to linearity degradation. A relation for RBody is defined to eliminate the transition and a method to obtain transition-free c...
متن کاملApplication of an SOI
Systems-on-chips (SoCs) that combine digital and high-speed communication circuits present new opportunities for powersaving designs. This results from both the large number of system specifications that can be traded off to minimize overall power and the inherent low capacitance of densely integrated devices. As shown in this paper, aggressively scaled silicon-oninsulator (SOI) CMOS is a promi...
