Mak P. High-Mixed-Voltage Analog and RF Circuit Techniques..2012

Textbook in PDF format

In this book, high-/mixed-voltage analog and RF circuits are investigated as the prospective solution for the next generation of wireless products in nm-length CMOS technologies. The content starts by overviewing the design considerations, pros and cons of high-/mixed-voltage circuits before describing three tailor-made circuit designs targeting the mobile-TV applications. Mobile TV is recognized as one of the key functions of handheld devices such as smart phones. The first design is a 90-nmCMOS ultra-wideband low-noise amplifier with mixedvoltageESDprotection for handling the full-band ofmobileTV.The second is a 90-nm CMOShigh-voltage-enabledmobile-TVRF front-end withTV-GSMinteroperability. The third is a 65-nmCMOSmixed-voltage unified full-bandmobile-TVreceiver frontend averting any external balun, whilemeasuring favorably performanceswith respect to the state-of-the-art. Most techniques are generally extendable to different types of wireless systems in ultra-scaled CMOS technologies
