    Abstract: Minimal headroom, minimal area, multi-terminal current steering circuits for steering a current from a current source to any one of a plurality of outputs. The steering circuit provides controls to individual steering transistors so as to turn on the selected one of the plurality of steering transistors responsive to steering control signals. Minimal headroom is required, and beta dependent errors in the current output are minimized, by steering the current source through only a single transistor to the selected output. This also minimizes chip area. Alternate embodiments are disclosed and described.

    Abstract: An integrated receiver with channel selection and image rejection is substantially implemented on a single CMOS integrated circuit. A receiver front end provides programable attenuation and a programable gain low noise amplifier. LC filters integrated onto the substrate in conjunction with image reject mixers provide image frequency rejection. Filter tuning and inductor Q compensation over temperature are performed on chip. Active filters utilize multi track spiral inductors with shields to increase circuit Q. Frequency planning provides additional image rejection. Local oscillator signal generation methods on chip reduce distortion. A PLL generates needed out of band LO signals. Direct synthesis generates in band LO signals. PLL VCOs are centered automatically. A differential crystal oscillator provides a frequency reference. Differential signal transmission throughout the receiver is used. ESD protection is provided by a pad ring and ESD clamping structure. Shunts utilize a gate boosting at each pin to discharge ESD build up. An IF VGA utilizes distortion cancellation achieved with cross coupled differential pair amplifiers having their Vds dynamically modified in conjunction with current steering of the differential pairs sources.
