Chapter
This chapter introduces the usage of body-bias for analog designs. The benefits of bias tuning knob are first introduced for signal path or trimming elements. From device cross-section, the demonstration of th...
Chapter
This chapter starts by highlighting the requirements and existing techniques in producing digital delay, summarizing the state of the art. Subsequently, a topology assessment is presented based on specified pe...
Chapter
The CMOS integration race has reached limitations for planar silicon process starting from the 40 nm node. The transistor channel was more and more difficult to control and specific process integration methods...
Chapter
Temperature monitoring is critical to the operation of all SoCs, as it provides information to adjust logic timing, optimize power management, or calibrate analog circuits. The temperature information should b...
Chapter
In this chapter, a 31 GHz reconfigurable balanced 2-stage power amplifier (PA) integrated in 28 nm FD-SOI CMOS technology is demonstrated aiming for SoC implementation. Fine grain wide range power gain control...
Chapter
This chapter presents mm-wave distributed oscillators (DOs) design running at 134 and 200 GHz, in 28 nm FD-SOI technology. First, the DO theory for operation close to transistor’s f T is detailed and then the des...
Chapter
Improving the energy efficiency of processor systems-on-chip (SoCs) is key to improving their performance and utility. The FD-SOI silicon process enables integrated systems that can deliver dramatic improvemen...
Chapter and Conference Paper
One approach to enable wireless communication between body-worn nodes is to use capacitive body-coupled communication (C-BCC). This technique, which uses capacitive electrodes as transducing elements, has prev...
Chapter
Fully depleted silicon on insulator (FDSOI) is one of the technology alternatives that permits today to follow CMOS More Moore law for the 28 nm node and beyond, while still dealing with fully planar transisto...
Chapter
Most current radio receivers use SAW bandpass filters for band selection. Their center frequency depends on the dimensions of the interdigital structure. Therefore, in the next few years, SAW technology will f...
Article
This paper presents the design of a novel antenna duplexer based on a mixed ladder lattice topology using advanced Solidly Mounted Resonator–Bulk Acoustic Wave (SMR–BAW) and Integrated Passive Device (IPD) tec...
Chapter
This paper presents a particular type of GHz frequencies high-quality Silicon integrated filters using BAW resonators. By enhancing BAW resonators with active Silicon “intelligence”, process and temperature va...
Chapter
There are strong reasons not to consider silicon technologies for mm-wave applications. Silicon comes up short in many comparisons to III-V semiconductors. Silicon carrier mobility is relatively low and so dev...
Article
This paper presents an integrated tunable filter using Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) resonators, designed and fabricated in a 0.25 μm BiCMOS process. This filter is intended to be used in a zero-IF W-CDMA receiver ...
