    Abstract: A power amplifier structure includes at least one power amplifier circuit. The power amplifier circuit includes a transistor of a first type connected in series with a transistor of a second type connected between the same voltage supply. In a non-limiting nonexclusive example, an n-type transistor is connected in series with a p-type transistor connected between Vdd. The power amplifier structure can include two amplifier circuits configured in a differential amplifier structure. The differential amplifier structure includes two amplifier circuits operably connected in parallel between the same voltage supply.

    Abstract: An IC includes a device-under-test (DUT) configured to receive a first AC signal at a first node and output a second AC signal at a second node, the second AC signal being based on the first AC signal, and first and second detection circuits. Each of the first and second detection circuits includes a first gain stage coupled to a corresponding one of the first or second nodes through a first capacitive device, a second gain stage in a cascade arrangement with the first gain stage, and a low-pass filter configured to generate a DC signal based on an output signal of the second gain stage.

    Abstract: A differential oscillator includes a differential circuit and a transformer-coupled band-pass filter (BPF) coupled between first and second output nodes. The BPF includes a coupling device coupled between the output nodes and a transformer including first and second windings in a metal layer of an IC. The first winding includes first and second conductive structures coupled to the first output node and a voltage node, respectively, and a third conductive structure including first and second extending portions connected to the first and second conductive structures, respectively. The second winding includes a fourth conductive structure including a third extending portion coupled to the voltage node and a fourth extending portion coupled to the second output node. The third extending portion is between the second conductive structure and the first extending portion, and the fourth extending portion is between the first conductive structure and the second extending portion.

    Abstract: A device includes a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type, and a deep well region in the semiconductor substrate, wherein the deep well region is of a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type. The device further includes a well region of the first conductivity type over the deep well region. The semiconductor substrate has a top portion overlying the well region, and a bottom portion underlying the deep well region, wherein the top portion and the bottom portion are of the first conductivity type, and have a high resistivity. A gate dielectric is over the semiconductor substrate. A gate electrode is over the gate dielectric. A source region and a drain region extend into the top portion of the semiconductor substrate. The source region, the drain region, the gate dielectric, and the gate electrode form a Radio Frequency (RF) switch.
