Abstract: Circuitry to remove switches from signal paths in integrated circuit programmable gain attenuators. Programmable gain attenuators and programmable gain amplifiers commonly switch between signal levels using semi-conductor switches. Such switches may introduce non-linearities in the signal. By isolating the switches from the signal path linearity of the PGA can be improved.

Abstract: An integrated receiver with channel selection and image rejection substantially implemented on a single CMOS integrated circuit is described. A receiver front end provides programable attenuation and a programable gain low noise amplifier. Frequency conversion circuitry advantageously uses LC filters integrated onto the substrate in conjunction with image reject mixers to provide sufficient image frequency rejection. Filter tuning and inductor Q compensation over temperature are performed on chip. The filters utilize multi track spiral inductors. The filters are tuned using local oscillators to tune a substitute filter, and frequency scaling during filter component values to those of the filter being tuned. In conjunction with filtering, frequency planning provides additional image rejection. The advantageous choice of local oscillator signal generation methods on chip is by PLL out of band local oscillation and by direct synthesis for in band local oscillator. The VCOs in the PLLs are centered using a control circuit to center the tuning capacitance range. A differential crystal oscillator is advantageously used as a frequency reference. Differential signal transmission is advantageously used throughout the receiver.

Abstract: A compensation circuit compensates for the variation in the internal resistance of a multi-track inductor over temperature. The compensation circuit includes a dummy inductor that has the same temperature dependent resistance as that of the multi-track inductor that is to be compensated. A first field effect transistor is placed in series with the multi-track inductor that is to be compensated, and a second field effect transistor is placed in series with the dummy inductor, where the gates of the FETs are tied together. A control circuit provides a constant current for the dummy inductor and detects any changes in voltage of the dummy inductor over temperature. The control circuit includes a feedback loop that controls the gate voltage of both first and second FETs so as to compensate for the temperature dependent inductor resistance variations of both the dummy inductor and the multi-track inductor that is to be compensated.

Abstract: A circuit is provided for reducing mismatches between the outputs of successive pairs of cells in an analog to digital converter. A voltage input means is coupled to a first input terminal of each cell to introduce and an input voltage. A reference voltage means is coupled to a second input terminal of each cell to introduce progressive fractions of a reference voltage. A low impedance means is coupled between corresponding first output terminals and coupled between corresponding second output terminals in successive cells, to draw load-bearing currents to the successive cells, affecting the relative voltages and thereby reducing the effects of cell mismatches on these output terminals. Lastly, a high impedance means is coupled to the each of the first output terminals and to each of the second output terminals in successive cells.

Abstract: Binary indications are converted to an analog representation with significant reduction in ringing at the transitions between successive binary indications and in the period during each binary indication. The binary indications are disposed in a row-and-column matrix to provide a thermometer code. Each stage of the converter includes a decoder and latch arranged so the decoder inputs settle before the latch is set by the clock pulses. The stages are implemented in complementary CMOS. Complementary transistors are biased so one transistor of the pair is driven to the rail while the other transistor of the pair floats. A dummy CMOS transistor is used to balance the number of transistors in the decoder paths.
