摘要:
An active analog filter (700, 1000) having a MOS capacitor device (730, 1030) with improved linearity is proposed. In an exemplary embodiment, dc bias voltage sources (755, 745) alter the capacitance of MOS varactors (740, 750) connected in anti parallel so that the total capacitance of the MOS capacitor device remains constant or within a range over the voltage range of the filter and the filter linearity is set. In a further exemplary embodiment the output stage (1070) of the operational amplifier circuit (1020) of the active analog filter (1000) is modified so that the dc bias voltage is provided by resistors (1055, 1045) connected to a current source (1060) already existing in the filter. Thus the linearity is set and the die area is significantly reduced.

Techniques to improve low noise amplifiers (LNAs) with noise canceling are described. LNA includes a first and a second amplifier which work together to noise cancel the noise generated at an input stage circuit. The input stage circuit receives an RF signal and is characterized by a first node and a second node. The first amplifier converts a noise voltage at the first node into a first noise current at an output of the first amplifier. The second amplifier is directly coupled to the output of the first amplifier and provides noise canceling by summing the first noise current with a second noise current generated by the second amplifier as a function of the noise voltage at the second node. The proposed techniques eliminate the need for large ac coupling capacitors and reduce the die size occupied by the LNA. The elimination of ac coupling capacitors between amplification stages of the LNA allows current reuse resulting in reduced current consumption.

A cable having a current leakage detection function includes three current-carrying core wires. Each current-carrying core wire is wrapped by an insulating layer, so that the current-carrying core wires are electrically insulated from one another. The insulating layer of at least one of the current-carrying core wires is wrapped by a metal wire net. Current guiding wires in contact with the metal wire net or a single-sided conductive film laminated outside the metal wire net is utilized to achieve the effect of timely and effectively conducting a leakage current to a leakage current detection device, so as to improve the reliability of leakage current detection.
