摘要: Semiconductor devices, such as a lateral HEMT, may display current flow between a plurality of interdigitated source fingers and drain fingers, and controlled by a common gate connection. An extended source finger contact may enable improved voltage control across the source fingers, even for large devices with many and/or lengthy source fingers. In this way, unwanted subthreshold operations and switching oscillations may be avoided by reliably maintaining a source voltage at a desired level, to thereby provide fast and reliable switching.

摘要: Circuits and processes for locking a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) at a high frequency signal are described. A circuit may include a voltage-controlled oscillator configured to generate a high frequency signal based on a control signal, a dummy load parallel to the voltage-controlled oscillator and configured to receive the control signal via a switch, and a digital-to-analog converter coupled to the voltage-controlled oscillator where the control signal is generated based on an output of the digital-to-analog converter.

摘要: Embodiments include a primary short circuit (PSC) coupled to a primary side of a transformer and a dampening element, coupled to a transducer coupled to a secondary side of the transformer, configured to dampen a received signal during a portion of a reverberation period. The PSC and the dampening element may be activated substantially simultaneously. Activation of the PSC circuit mitigates a parallel resonance otherwise arising, in part, in the transducer, but, increases the received signal by a DC shift voltage. The dampening element dampens the DC shift voltage. The received signal may be dampened prior to amplification of the received signal by an amplifier. The dampening facilitates earlier and more precise measurement, during the reverberation period, of at least one operating characteristic for the PAS sensor. Another embodiment prevents the DC shift voltage by selectively activating the PSC within a determined time of a zero-crossing of a given signal.

摘要: A bandgap reference circuit includes a complimentary to absolute temperature (CTAT) current generator providing a CTAT current with a source degeneration resistor, and a proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) current generator providing a PTAT current. The PTAT current generator includes a first branch with a source degeneration resistor, a first p-type metal-oxide semiconductor (PMOS) transistor, and a first n-type metal oxide semiconductor (NMOS) transistor, a resistor, and a diode-connected transistor. A second branch includes a source degeneration resistor, a second PMOS transistor, a second NMOS transistor, and a diode-connected transistor. The second branch coupled to the first branch in a current mirror configuration. A chopper circuit alternately couples drain terminals of the first and second PMOS transistors in series to the remainder of their respective branches.

摘要: A level shifter circuit shifts a digital signal between first and second voltage levels. For a LOW to HIGH transition, an output PMOS transistor is switched on using a first NMOS transistor activated by the digital signal at the first voltage level while a second NMOS transistor is switched off to uncouple the output PMOS transistor from ground, and a third NMOS transistor is switched off to uncouple a current mirror circuit from ground. For a HIGH to LOW transition, the output PMOS transistor is switched off and a fourth NMOS transistor is switched on using an output of the current mirror circuit. The second NMOS transistor is switched on using an inverted version of the digital signal, and the current in the current mirror circuit is turned off with a fifth NMOS transistor when the drain of the output PMOS transistor approaches the voltage level of ground.

摘要: A method for making an integrated passive device (IPD) die includes grinding a backside of a semiconductor substrate to reduce a thickness of a central portion of the semiconductor substrate while leaving a mechanical support ring on an outer portion of the substrate, and forming a through-substrate via (TSV) from the backside of the substrate. The TSV defines interconnect access to at least one passive component embedded in an insulator material disposed on a front surface of the semiconductor substrate. The substrate has a thickness less than three-quarters of an original thickness of the substrate.

摘要: An imaging device may include single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs). To improve the sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio of the SPADs, light scattering structures may be formed in the semiconductor substrate to increase the path length of incident light through the semiconductor substrate. The light scattering structures may include a low-index material formed in trenches in the semiconductor substrate. One or more microlenses may focus light onto the semiconductor substrate. Areas of the semiconductor substrate that receive more light from the microlenses may have a higher density of light scattering structures to optimize light scattering while mitigating dark current.
