    Abstract: Cross-coupled low noise amplifier for cellular applications. A circuitry implementation that includes two pairs of metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) (either N-type of P-type) operates as an LNA, which can be used within any of a wide variety of communication devices. In one embodiment, this design is particularly adaptable to cellular telephone applications. A majority of the elements are integrated within the design and need not be implemented off-chip, and this can provide for a reduction in area required by the circuitry. A very high output impedance is provided by using two transistors (implemented in a triple well configuration) with resistive source degeneration. A higher than typical power supply voltage can be employed (if desired) to accommodate the voltage drops of the resistors and transistors.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a radio frequency (RF) transceiver includes a local oscillator generator (LOGEN) circuit configured to receive an adaptive supply voltage. The LOGEN circuit is coupled to a variable power supply for providing the adaptive supply voltage. A process monitor for the LOGEN circuit is in communication with the variable power supply through a power supply programming module. As a result, the adaptive supply voltage can be adjusted according to data supplied by the process monitor. A method for adaptively powering a LOGEN circuit comprises providing power to an RF device, monitoring a process corner of said LOGEN circuit, determining a supply voltage corresponding to the process corner, and adjusting the supply voltage to adaptively power the LOGEN circuit.

    Abstract: A method to provide a low-power clock signal or a low-noise clock signal is described herein. It is determined whether a low-power mode or a low-noise mode is in use. A voltage reference input of a low-dropout voltage regulator (LDO) is switched to a low-power voltage reference for low-power mode and to a low-noise voltage reference for low-noise mode. The LDO provides a constant voltage output to a crystal oscillator. A clock signal is generated using the crystal oscillator. The clock signal is limited using a low-power limiter to generate a low-power output clock signal and/or is limited using a low-noise limiter to generate a low-noise clock signal. The low-power output clock signal or the low-noise output clock signal is selected using a mux.
