    摘要: A hybrid Nyquist thermometer and sigma delta digital to analog converter is presented. The digital input signal is divided into most significant bits and least significant bits. The most significant bits are converted to a thermometer code. A thermometer element array is controlled by the thermometer code. A fractional value is calculated from the least significant bits and used to dither the first unexercised array element in order to get finer resolution with guaranteed monotonicity.

    摘要: A high-speed signal level detector employs the high gain and high bandwidth of an inverter to perform a comparison. The high-speed signal level detector is capable of achieving the desired high-speed level detection without demanding the substantial power consumption required when using either the averaging technique or a high bandwidth op-amp type comparator.

    摘要: The mixer circuit includes a differential rf input driver; a differential local oscillator input circuit coupled to the differential rf input driver; a non-linear load coupled to the differential local oscillator input circuit wherein the non-linear load compensates for non-linearity of the differential rf input driver. The non-linear load has a V-I (voltage-current) transfer function the inverse of the input driver. This improves the mixer linearity without sacrificing the Gain or Noise Figure.
