1Loss of energy
If the number of electrons and power supply voltage are reduced to achieve low power dissipation, then power dissipation is reduced, but the performance of amplification circuits deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The amplification circuit is divided into multiple stages with different voltage gain characteristics. Each stage operates at optimized voltage levels, allowing the overall system to achieve high voltage gain while maintaining low power dissipation. The segmentation enables independent optimization of each stage's power-performance tradeoff.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the operating parameters of different amplification stages by applying voltage scaling techniques. Each stage operates at different voltage levels optimized for its specific function, transforming the uniform high-voltage operation into a multi-level voltage system that reduces overall power dissipation while maintaining required performance.
2Device complexity
If the voltage gain of each stage is increased to reduce the number of stages, then device complexity is reduced, but power dissipation increases due to higher energy conversion loss
Solution Approach 1:
Different stages of the amplification circuit are assigned different voltage gain characteristics tailored to their specific functions. The first stage operates at low voltage gain with high input impedance, while subsequent stages operate at higher voltage gains. This local optimization of each stage's quality parameters reduces overall power dissipation compared to uniform high-gain stages.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic voltage gain distribution across stages based on signal amplitude and operating conditions. The voltage gain of each stage is adjusted dynamically to optimize the tradeoff between device complexity and power dissipation, allowing the system to adapt to different operating scenarios.
