    摘要: A DCDC converter includes a signal splitting unit that splits an input signal into N signal components; N DCDC converter elements that process individually the N split signals; and an adder that adds outputs from the plural DCDC converter elements to generate output signals. Each of the DCDC converter elements has an operation band narrower than an applicable frequency band of the input signal, and selects a design parameter that allows a conversion efficiency of the DCDC converter elements to be optimized for any band of the applicable frequency bands. For example, the parameter of a PMOS transistor and a NMOS transistor, which configure an inverter is designed to optimize the efficiency at any of frequency bands. The frequency band of the input signal is split, and each of the split outputs is input to a DCDC converter element that has a corresponding frequency and high efficiency characteristic.

    摘要: With a dual mode transmitter capable of handling two modulation methods for nonconstant amplitude modulation and constant amplitude modulation, respectively, speed-up of transition between modes is implemented. In a mode handling the constant amplitude modulation, first capacitors included in a low-pass filter constituting an AM loop, and a second capacitor included in an integrator are kept recharged from a first constant-voltage power supply and a second constant-voltage power supply by use of a first switch and a second switch, respectively. By doing so, a value of voltage to be recharged at the time of a mode changeover is decreased, and further, a first variable-gain amplifier starts control of a gain while avoiding a region where the output voltage of the first variable-gain amplifier has slow response against an input voltage.

    摘要: In a PLL circuit, the number of LPFs is reduced to one to reduce mounting area and pin number, and to simplify design. In one embodiment, the PLL circuit includes a variable-gain phase comparator, a mixer, an LPF, VCOs, couplers, and a control circuit to controlling the on/off operation of the VCOs. The variable-gain phase comparator is capable of varying a phase difference gain. The on/off of the operation of the VCOs is controlled by the control circuit so that one of the VCOs is turned off. The phase difference conversion gain is varied in accordance with the sensitivity of the VCOs so the number of LPFs required for the PLL circuit can be reduced to only one.

    摘要: A transmitter employing variable gain amplifiers and operating with both constant and nonconstant envelope modulation systems is contrived to suppress variation in the transmitting power when constant envelope modulation is performed. The transmitter comprises a PM loop, an AM loop, and a variable gain amplifier which is shared by the PM loop and the AM loop and combines phase information that the PM loop outputs and envelope information that the AM loop outputs by gain control. The variable gain amplifier comprises a variable gain amplifier body having a supply voltage terminal and a bias current detection terminal for extracting a bias current corresponding to a gain, wherein the gain changes with a change in the potential of the supply voltage terminal, and a bias control block connected to the supply voltage terminal and the bias current detection terminal. Thereby, a bias control loop is formed to control the bias current so that the gain in the case of constant envelope modulation becomes a predetermined value.

    摘要: A transmitter that can reduce noise without using an SAW filter whose IC integration is hard, and copes with two modulation formats of constant envelope modulation and non-constant envelope modulation, and a downsized and low-cost wireless communication apparatus that uses the transmitter are provided. The transmitter includes a quadrature modulator that modulates an input signal by quadrature modulation, a first amplifier that amplifies a modulation signal outputted by the quadrature modulator, and a second amplifier that amplifies an output signal of the first amplifier. The first amplifier operates as a limiter when the modulation format is the constant envelope modulation, and performs linear operation when the modulation format is the non-constant envelope modulation.

    摘要: A reference A/D conversion unit is connected in parallel to an input common to a time-interleaved A/D converter to be a calibration target, and the output of each unitary A/D conversion unit which makes up the time-interleaved A/D converter is calibrated in a digital region by using a low-speed high-resolution A/D conversion result output from the reference A/D conversion unit. Also, fCLK/N (fCLK represents an overall sampling rate of the time-interleaved A/D converter, and N is relatively prime to the number of unitary A/D conversion units connected in parallel M) is set as the operation clock frequency of the reference A/D conversion unit. Samplings of all unitary A/D conversion units can be sequentially synchronized with the sampling of the reference A/D conversion unit, and the operation clock frequency of the reference A/D converter can be made N times slower than the overall sampling rate of the time-interleaved A/D converter.
