Analog CMOS peak detect and hold circuits. Part 1. Analysis of the classical configuration
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 significantly limit its accuracy and stability. This paper reports on the limits of the classical CMOS PDH. Static errors due to offset, finite gain, and commonmode rejection, dynamic errors due to parasitic capacitive coupling and slew rate, and loop stability are analyzed. Expressions for each error source and consequent design tradeoffs between accuracy, speed, and dynamic range, and driving capability are derived. In a related article (Part 2), a two-phase PDH configuration, which overcomes the major limits of the classical approach is presented. r 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Analog CMOS peak detect and hold circuits. Part 2. The two-phase offset-free and derandomizing configuration
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 h...

متن کاملیک راهکار جدید برای کاهش جریان نشتی در کلید های CMOS
CMOS switches are one of the main components of today's analog circuits. Among the many types of non-idealities that can affect the performance of the switch, its leakage current is of utmost importance. In order to reduce the leakage current or equally increase the OFF resistance of any switch, a novel technique is presented in this paper. The proposed technique employs the body effect to incr...

متن کاملMOCA ARM: Analog Reliability Measurement based on Monte Carlo Analysis
Due to the expected increase of defects in circuits based on deep submicron technologies, reliability has become an important design criterion. Although different approaches have been developed to estimate reliability in digital circuits and some measuring concepts have been separately presented to reveal the quality of analog circuit reliability in the literature, there is a gap to estimate re...
