Abstract: Various NLTL frequency comb generator embodiments are disclosed for broadband impedance matching to generate an output signal comprising broadband harmonics of an input signal. The NLTL frequency comb generator comprises a plurality of segments cascaded in series, with each segment comprising a series inductor and a non-linear shunt capacitor. The non-linear shunt capacitor may couple to corresponding series inductors in the same polarity. A broadband biasing circuit feeds a DC bias or DC ground to the non-linear shunt capacitors for broadband input and output impedance matching. The broadband biasing circuit may be a low pass filter to prevent RF signal from leaking through the biasing circuit. The NLTL frequency comb generator, the broadband biasing circuit, and an output DC blocking capacitor may be integrated in a single chip in a compact packaging to achieve a broadband input/output impedance matching without relying on external lumped matching components.

Abstract: A ramp generator includes a plurality of switched current sources coupled in parallel between a resistor and ground. A digital ramp control signal generator includes a counter to generate a ramp control signal in response to a clock signal. Each bit of the ramp control signal is coupled to control switching of a respective one of the plurality of switched current sources to generate a ramp signal at an output of the ramp generator. The digital ramp control signal generator is coupled to receive a reset signal to zero the ramp control signal. The digital ramp control signal generator is further coupled to receive a set bits signal to initialize the ramp signal to a preset value after every reset of the ramp control signal to add a DC offset compensation current determined by the preset value to the ramp signal.

Abstract: A low distortion triangular wave generator circuit generates a triangular wave signal by performing integration on an integration capacitor via a charging current and a discharging current during a charging period and a discharging period within a switching period of an external clock signal. A time length of the charging period is identical to a time length of the discharging period. A common mode related signal related to a common mode characteristic of the triangular wave signal is generated. An adjusting signal is generated according to a difference between the common mode related signal and a predetermined DC (direct current) level. The adjusting signal adjusts at least one of the charging current and the discharging current via feedback mechanism such that the triangular wave signal is a symmetrical triangular wave, and an average voltage of the triangular wave signal is equal to a target DC level.

Abstract: A signal output circuit includes a slope control circuit, a capacitor, a noise detector circuit and a fail-safe circuit. The slope control circuit charges and discharges the capacitor, the first terminal of which is connected to an output terminal, according to the control signal level, and drives transistors using the voltage of the second terminal of the capacitor, thereby controlling the slope of the output single. The noise detector circuit detects noise superimposed on the output terminal. When noise is detected, the fail-safe circuit performs a forced drive operation on the transistor to output the output signal at a level corresponding to the level of the control signal is output, regardless of the transistor being driven by the slope control circuit.
