    摘要： A circuit and method for detecting mobile ion contamination in a semiconductor device. The circuit uses two transistor structures on the same silicon chip as the circuit being tested to detect the presence (or absence) of mobile ions. The test includes imposing conditions on the silicon chip that may cause any mobile ions present therein to move within the structure. By measuring electrical parameters, such as a band gap voltage, across the transistors before and after the imposition of such conditions, a reliable indication of the presence or absence of mobile ions can be obtained.

    摘要： A shielded differential inductor forms a high quality factor (high-Q) inductor that is configured to attenuate frequency spurs and/or noise from magnetic coupling generated by electrical structures on or off of a substrate as well as interference received by other components from magnetic coupling generated by the inductor. The shielded differential inductor includes a differential inductor and a shield that substantially isolates the electrical field between the inductor and the substrate to reduce substrate current loss. The shield includes sets of finger structures that extend beyond the width of the inductor and a hub and spoke configuration of ground conductors that connect the sets of finger structures to ground.

    摘要： An integrated wideband receiver includes first and second signal processing paths and a controller. The first signal processing path has an input, and an output for providing a first processed signal, and comprises a first tracking bandpass filter having a first integrated inductor. The second signal processing path has an input, and an output for providing a second processed signal, and comprises a second tracking bandpass filter having a second integrated inductor. The controller is for enabling one of the first and second signal processing paths corresponding to a selected channel of a radio frequency (RF) input signal to provide an output signal. The controller, the first integrated inductor, and said second integrated inductor are formed on a single integrated circuit chip.

    摘要： A frequency synthesizer includes a controlled oscillator configured to extend a temperature range and phase noise of the synthesizer without compromising the frequency coverage of the synthesizer. The frequency synthesizer also includes bias generation circuitry that sets a bias current of a charge pump to reduce bandwidth variations of the synthesizer. The frequency synthesizer further includes switching circuitry to dynamically turn a charge pump on and off to reduce effects of current leakage in the charge pump.

    摘要： Methods and architectures for tuning bandpass analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are disclosed that can be used, for example, with receiver architectures and associated methods that are also disclosed. The notch of the bandpass ADC can be tuned to the desired channel frequency by adjusting the notch to reduce noise energy in the output signal through a feedback process that adjusts the tuning signal. In addition, a master-slave approach can be implemented to tune a tunable bandpass filter configured as a slave circuit based upon the tuning adjustments made to the master bandpass ADC circuit. In addition, receiver architectures and associated methods are disclosed that utilize coarse analog tune circuitry to provide initial analog coarse tuning of desired channels within a received spectrum signal, such as a set-top box signal spectrum for satellite communications.
