High-frequency dynamic translinear and log-domain circuits in CMOS technology
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new topology for translinear filters in CMOS IC technology is presented. This translinear filter is based on the exponential relation of passive PN-diodes in CMOS technology while the CMOS transistors only provide gain. From simulations, it is demonstrated that this topology leads to an improvement in high-frequency performance. Cut-off frequencies higher than 200 MHz with Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) figures around 2% are reported.

Log-domain ®lters are an important class of current-mode circuits having large-signal linearity and increased tuning range over voltage-mode ®lter circuits of similar complexity. In this paper we describe synthesis of a single-ended, ®rst-order ®lter circuit from static and dynamic translinear circuit principles, and show how higher-order ®lters can be easily constructed from the ®rst-order bui...

متن کاملNonlinear Analysis of Noise in Static and Dynamic Translinear Circuits
For translinear filters, or log-domain filters, calculation of the maximal signal-to-noise-ratio, an important filter specification, is not trivial, due to the inherent companding behavior and the nonstationary nature of the transistor noise sources. To address this issue, a nonlinear noise analysis method is proposed. Based on large-signal calculations, expressions for the first-order noise an...
