Calibration of integrated circuit time constants
InactiveUS6842710B1Computing operations for integral formationComputing operations for integration/differentiationRC time constantVoltage reference
A method and system for calibrating a time constant within an integrated circuit. A voltage storage element is charged, and the time required to achieve a reference voltage on the storage element is measured. The measured time is compared to a desired time. It necessary, an adjustable impedance is modified to change the charging time, and the cycle may be repeated until the charging time matches the desired time. In this novel manner, an actual RC time constant, as rendered in a particular integrated circuit, is measured and potentially adjusted to match a desired time constant. Advantageously, configuration information of the adjustable impedance may be communicated to other circuitry within the integrated circuit to enable such circuitry to implement the same RC time constant in analog signal processing. Consequently, embodiments of the present invention overcome incidences of wide tolerance in passive components implemented in integrated circuits. Beneficially, no external test equipment is required.

Low noise wideband digital predistortion amplifier
InactiveUS6570444B2Low bandwidthReduce total powerAmplifier modifications to reduce non-linear distortionElectric signal transmission systemsLow noiseSignal-to-noise ratio (imaging)
A digital predistortion amplifier design compensates for non-linear amplification of an input signal using predistortion techniques. The design provides a reduced noise floor by using separate digital to analog converters (DAC) to separately convert the input signal and an error correction signal. Furthermore, the input signal can be separated into two or more subbands of narrower bandwidth. Each of the subbands are converted to analog using a separate DAC. By reducing the power and / or bandwidth to be handled by any one DAC, the available levels of quantization of the DAC are applied to a lower power signal and therefore the signal to noise ratio resulting from the conversion process is improved. In addition, each digital subband is passed through a correction filter, which is driven by an adaptive control processing and compensation estimator to compensate for relative gain, phase, and delay inconsistencies between the different subbands.

InactiveUS6885275B1Resonant circuit detailsSemiconductor/solid-state device detailsSpiral inductorEngineering
An integrated circuit inductor includes a spiral pattern disposed upon a substrate. The track of the spiral is divided into multiple tracks to form a multi-track inductor. The individual tracks are disposed side by side and in different layers. Tracks that are aligned vertically are coupled by feed throughs, or vias. Multiple vias are used along the length of each of the multiple tracks. Tracks disposed in the same layer are joined together at their beginning, and at their termination. A patterned shield is fabricated from conductive fingers of n+ salicided material that is separated by non conducting polysilicon that fills the gaps between the fingers. The conductive fingers are coupled together in groups, which are in turn tied to a single point ground. In tying the groups together, a gap in the conducting path is provided to prevent ground loop currents. The shield is disposed between the multi-track inductor and the substrate.

An integrated receiver with channel selection and image rejection substantially implemented on a single CMOS integrated circuit. A receiver front end provides programmable attenuation and a programmable gain low noise amplifier. LC filters integrated onto the substrate in conjunction with image reject mixers provide image frequency rejection. Filter tuning and inductor Q compensation over temperature are performed on chip. Active filters utilize multi track spiral inductors with shields to increase circuit Q. The filters incorporate a gain stage that provides improved dynamic range through the use of cross coupled auxiliary differential pair CMOS amplifiers to cancel distortion in a main linearized differential pair amplifier. Frequency planning provides additional image rejection. Local oscillator signal generation methods on chip reduce distortion. A PLL generates needed out of band LO signals. Direct synthesis generates in band LO signals. PLL VCOs are centered automatically. A differential crystal oscillator provides a frequency reference. Differential signal transmission throughout the receiver is used. ESD protection is provided by a pad ring and ESD clamping structure. Shunts utilize a gate boosting at each pin to discharge ESD build up. An IF VGA utilizes distortion cancellation achieved with cross coupled differential pair amplifiers having their Vds dynamically modified in conjunction with current steering of the differential pairs sources.

A notch filter with a high Q factor, which is integrated with a first and a second cascoded LNA, is totally contained on an integrated chip.

Controlling Q-factor of filters
The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for controlling a Q-factor for a filter. The method comprises stabilizing an active feedback to provide a variable feedback in a filter, varying the active feedback based on an input signal to the filter, and producing a desired Q-factor for the filter at a first frequency band, in response to the variable feedback. The method further comprises reconfiguring a center frequency and a bandwidth of the filter based on a channel bandwidth of the input signal to the filter to adjust the Q-factor for the filter in response to a second frequency band different than the first frequency band. By reconfiguring a center frequency and a bandwidth of a filter, the Q-factor for the filter, such as a flexible or reconfigurable filter, may be controlled across a multiplicity of frequency band signals. Using software, for example, a common signal path may be provided for the multiplicity of frequency band signals within a frequency agile radio of a base station by tuning the radio based on a variable feedback through realization of a negative parallel resistance. Thus, tuneability of the Q-factor may provide frequency agile radios that include flexible or reconfigurable filters in a base station to serve different frequency bands without changing hardware. In this way, significant savings associated with frequency agility may be obtained.

A complex filter such as the channel select filter in a radio transceiver is implemented using a transconductance / C topology to benefit from the ability to tune such filters and thereby stabilize the output transfer function of the filter over variations in temperature, power supply voltage and process. The topology is based on an active R / C biquadratic topology to achieve the additional benefit of independently controlled stages. The problem created by the R in the output impedance is can be overcome by separately tuning the R value along with the transconductance / C ratio, by implementing the R as a transconductance amplifier having common mode feedback, or by implementing the transconductance amplifiers of the topology using Nauta transconductors, and unbalancing the common mode circuit of the Nauta transconductor to achieve a differential resistance that can be used to implement the R in the output impedance.
