High sampling rate analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are commonly used to sample complex modulated signals at intermediate frequencies in modern wireless receiver designs. Often CMOS switched-capacitor based ADCs are selected for such designs due to their attractive low cost and power dissipation. These ADCs utilize an unbuffered front end directly coupled to the sampling network, which prese...

This paper introduces a merged converter topology for supplying high-brightness light-emitting diodes for lighting applications. The converter combines a boost-based power factor correction rectifier (PFC) and a resonant converter in a single-stage. In this topology both converters share the same switching components and a bulky electrolytic capacitor, existing in conventional systems, is repla...

The design of a RFID-enabled temperature sensor is described in this paper. In this sensor, a change in temperature causes structural beams to bend, which results in a proportional displacement of the plates of the capacitor. Plates' displacement results, in turn, in changing the value of its capacitance. The capacitor of the sensor is coupled to the LC resonant network of a passive RFID tag. T...
