A digital FLL/PLL is provided which is capable of converging an oscillation frequency from a VCO to a desired frequency at a high speed even without setting a damping factor corresponding to each VCO gain. A digital FLL/PLL of the present invention includes: a comparator for comparing a channel signal to a loopback signal having an oscillation frequency to generate a signal error; a digital loop filter for generating a control voltage that determines the oscillation frequency, on the basis of the signal error; a VCO for controlling an oscillation frequency on the basis of the control voltage; a loopback path through which the oscillation frequency generated by the VCO is outputted as the loopback signal to the comparator; and a control section for monitoring the signal error, and controlling the digital loop filter such that the oscillation frequency of the VCO becomes a stationary state, when detecting that the signal error meets a predetermined condition after the channel signal is switched.

A transmission circuit alleviates the frequency characteristics of a group delay and an attenuation amount in a transmission signal band and expands a dynamic range to a high frequency band. A ladder-type resistance-type attenuator includes switching elements, 2R resistor elements and R resistor elements. The 2R and R resistor elements are respectively connected to variable capacitor elements in parallel. The variable attenuator having such a connection structure is connected to an amplitude modulation loop of the transmission circuit. By controlling the capacitance value of the variable capacitor elements using the capacitance value control section when the switching elements are ON/OFF switched based on the transmission power control signal, the influence of parasitic capacitances of the variable capacitor elements is suppressed and the group delay between the amplitude modulation and the phase modulation is reduced.

A transmission circuit operates with high efficiency and low distortion. An amplitude and phase extraction section extracts amplitude data and phase data from input data. A phase modulation section phase-modulates the phase data to output a resultant signal as a phase-modulated signal. An amplifier section amplifies the phase-modulated signal to output a resultant signal as a transmission signal. An amplitude control section supplies, to the amplifier section, a voltage controlled in accordance with an AC component represented by a fluctuation component of the amplitude data and a DC component represented by an average value level of the fluctuation component of the amplitude data.

Transistors M11 and M12 are cross-coupled to each other so as to form a negative resistance circuit. First and second variable capacitor sections 10 and 20 are connected in parallel with an inductor circuit so as to form a parallel resonant circuit. A first reference voltage Vref1 and a control voltage VT1 corresponding to a carrier wave component are fed to both terminals, respectively, of each of variable capacitors VC11 and VC12 included in the first variable capacitor section 10. A second reference voltage Vref2 and a control voltage VT2 corresponding to a modulated wave component are fed to both terminals, respectively, of each of variable capacitors VC21 and VC22 included in the second variable capacitor section 20. A DC control section 30 includes a resistance R31 interposed between the second reference voltage Vref2 and a common connection point of resistances R21 and R22, and a capacitor C31 for feeding only an AC component included in the modulated wave component to the common connection point of the resistances R21 and R22. Thus, a DC voltage, on which the AC component included in the modulated wave component is superimposed, is changed from a certain DC bias to a DC bias of the second reference voltage Vref2.
摘要:
A method is set forth of forming an ohmic electrode having good characteristics on a SiC semiconductor layer. In the method, a Ti-layer and an Al-layer are formed on a surface of the SiC substrate. The SiC substrate having the Ti-layer and the Al-layer is maintained at a temperature that is higher than or equal to a first temperature and lower than a second temperature until all Ti in the Ti-layer has reacted with Al. The first temperature is the minimum temperature of a temperature zone at which the Ti reacts with the Al to form Al3Ti, and the second temperature is the minimum temperature of a temperature zone at which the Al3Ti reacts with SiC to form Ti3SiC2. As a result of this maintaining of temperature step, an Al3Ti-layer is formed on the surface of the SiC substrate. The method also comprises further heating the SiC substrate having the Al3Ti-layer to a temperature that is higher than the second temperature. As a result of this step of further heating the SiC substrate reacts with Al3Ti of the Al3Ti-layer to form a Ti3SiC2-layer on the surface of the SiC substrate.

An element-mounting substrate includes a ceramic substrate, an electrode layer formed on the substrate and a ceramic coating layer which is formed on a part of the electrode layer and has a thickness of 5 to 50 μm. A process for producing the element-mounting substrate includes the steps of forming an electrode precursor layer in the shape of a pattern of an electrode layer on a ceramic plate or a green sheet of a large diameter, forming a ceramic coating precursor layer on a part of the electrode precursor layer and then firing the resulting precursor. In this process, it is preferable to form the ceramic coating layer so as to cover the electrode layer on a predetermined cutting line of the firing product. According to the element-mounting substrate in which a part of the electrode layer is covered with a ceramic, a failure in mounting an element attributable to the thickness of the ceramic coating layer can be prevented when the element is mounted. In addition, peeling or cracking of the electrode layer caused by impact during dicing can be prevented.

A voltage controlled oscillator apparatus includes at least two voltage controlled oscillators, each of the voltage controlled oscillators being formed on a semiconductor substrate and having an LC-resonant circuit including a three-terminal inductor or a two-terminal inductor, and a continuously variable capacitor, and an amplifier including n-channel transistors or n-channel transistors and p-channel transistors. Two of the three-terminal or two-terminal inductors constructing the first and second voltage controlled oscillators have a coil shape formed with a wiring layer of an integrated circuit formed on the semiconductor substrate, and one of the three-terminal or two-terminal inductors has such a shape that its inductance value differs from that of the other of the three-terminal or two-terminal inductors, and is disposed in a region inside of the other of the three-terminal or two-terminal inductors with respect to its planar shape. Broadband in oscillation frequencies can be achieved while avoiding deterioration of the phase noise characteristics and enlarged chip sizes.
摘要:
A fraction part control circuit of a frequency synthesizer apparatus including a PLL circuit is of a plural-n-th-order delta-sigma modulator circuit for controlling a fraction part of a number of frequency division to a variable frequency divider of the PLL circuit. An adder adds data of the fraction part to an output data from a multiplier and outputs the resultant data to a quantizer through a second-order integrator. The quantizer quantizes input data with a quantization step and outputs the quantized data to the multiplier through a feedback circuit. The quantized data is used as data of the controlled fraction part. The multiplier multiplies data from the feedback circuit by the quantization step and outputs the resultant data to the adder. The fraction part control circuit periodically changes the data of the fraction part, thereby setting a frequency of an output signal from a VCO according to an average value of the period.
