    摘要: In one embodiment, an amplifier circuit has at least one branch and current-source circuitry providing a tail current to the branch, which has at least one load tank, at least one input transistor coupled to the load tank, and variable-impedance circuitry coupled between an input node of the amplifier circuit and the gate of the input transistor. The transconductance of the input transistor can be altered to achieve two or more different gain settings for the amplifier circuit. The variable-impedance circuitry can be controlled to contribute any one of at least two different levels of impedance to the overall input impedance of the amplifier circuit. If the transconductance of the input transistor is reduced, then the variable-impedance circuitry can increase the level of impedance contributed to the overall input impedance of the amplifier circuit such that the overall input impedance of the amplifier circuit remains substantially unchanged.

    摘要: A buffer circuit uses (e.g., active) inductors for driving capacitive loads. In one embodiment, the buffer circuit has one or more stages, each stage having one CMOS inverter. Each CMOS inverter has one NMOS transistor and one PMOS transistor and is coupled to a stage input and a stage output. Additionally, at least one stage of the buffer circuit has two inductors, each coupled between a different voltage reference for the buffer circuit and the stage output. One inductor has a PMOS transistor coupled to the gate of an NMOS transistor and the other inductor has an NMOS transistor coupled to the gate of a PMOS transistor. When driving capacitive loads, the inductors partially tune out the apparent load capacitance CL, thereby improving the charging capabilities of inverter and enabling quicker charge and discharge times. Furthermore, partially tuning out apparent load capacitance facilitates the driving of larger capacitive loads.

    摘要: A voltage controlled oscillator unit is provided with cross coupled voltage controlled oscillators to generate quadrature phases. One control stage adjusts coupling between the oscillators. Another control stage adjusts the tail current that applies operating bias to the oscillators and to the couplers, respectively. The cross coupling and tail current control stages are arranged so that tuning one simultaneously and oppositely tunes the other for simultaneous adjustment in opposite directions. This limits the power consumption of the oscillator unit throughout the range of frequency control.
