چکیده
The limitations on the implementation of BiCMOS active inductors at 2GHz are described. The circuit is based on a two BJT feedback configuration. Two types of biasing circuits were used: active bias and resistive bias. With 0.8μm BiCMOS standard technology is possible to obtain up to a few nanohenry inductance with a Q close to 3 at 2GHz. Two MMIC were studied.

متن کاملA 16-GHz Ultra-High-Speed Si–SiGe HBT Comparator
This paper presents an improved master–slave bipolar Si–SiGe HBT comparator design for ultra-high-speed data converter applications. The latch is maintained during the track stage facilitating quick transition back to the latch stage, increasing the sampling speed of the comparator. Implemented in a 0.5m 55-GHz BiCMOS Si–SiGe process, this comparator consumes approximately 80 mW with sampling s...
متن کاملCancellation of Series-Loss Resistance in UWB Active Inductors using RC Feedback
One of the most important features of the Active Inductors (AIs) is their input equivalent resistance, namely series-loss resistance, which should be low enough to have a high Quality Factor (QF). Most of the previous methods by this goal did not yield a high enough QF. This paper presents a new method, namely applying an RC feedback, to cancel series-loss resistance entirely. As the RC fee...
