摘要: Circuits and methods for improving the noise figure (NF) of an amplifier, particularly an LNA, in high-gain modes while improving the IIP3 of the amplifier in low-gain modes. The source of an amplifier common-source FET is coupled to circuit ground thorough a degeneration circuit comprising a two-port inductor and a bypass switch coupled in parallel with the inductor. A switched feedback circuit is coupled between the gate of the common-source FET and a feedback node in the amplifier output signal path. During a low gain mode, the inductor is entirely bypassed and the enabled feedback circuit lowers the input impedance of the common-source FET and reduces the gain of the amplifier circuit, essentially eliminating the need for a degeneration inductor. During a high gain mode, the source of the common-source FET is coupled to circuit ground through the inductor and the feedback circuit is disabled. Other gain modes are supported.

摘要: A signal gain determination circuit including a digital comparator, a digital controller and an arithmetic module, and a signal gain determination method are provided. A sensing integration circuit generates a first count during a first integration time according to a first sensing signal. The digital comparator compares the first count and a predetermined count to generate a comparison result. The digital controller generates a control signal for indicating a signal gain to a signal amplifier of the sensing integration circuit according to the comparison result. The signal amplifier adjusts the first sensing signal according to the signal gain to generate a second sensing signal, so that the sensing integration circuit generates a second count corresponding to the second sensing signal during a second integration time. The arithmetic module generates an output count corresponding to the first sensing signal according to the second count and the signal gain.

摘要: A clamping circuit that may be used to provide efficient and effective voltage clamping in an RF front end. The clamping circuit comprises two series coupled signal path switches and a bypass switch coupled in parallel with the series coupled signal path switches. A diode is coupled from a point between the series coupled signal path switches to a reference potential. In addition, an output selection switch within an RF front end has integrated voltage clamping to more effectively clamp the output voltage from the RF front end. Additional output clamping circuits can be used at various places along a direct gain signal path, along an attenuated gain path and along a bypass path.

摘要: Described herein are variable gain amplifiers and multiplexers that embed programmable attenuators into switchable paths to provide variable gain for individual amplifier inputs. The variable gain for an individual input is provided using an amplification stage that is common for each input of the amplifier. A variable attenuation is provided for individual inputs through a combination of a band selection switch and an attenuation selection branch. Individual inputs can be configured to bypass the variable attenuation in a high gain mode.

摘要: A synchronous rectifier includes: an integrator configured to integrate a voltage across a secondary side winding of a transformer over an integral period having an expected zero integral value; a first comparator configured to detect an end of a demagnetization phase of the secondary side winding based on diode detection; and a digital circuit configured to adjust a channel gain of the synchronous rectifier based on an integration error at the end of the integral period, the integration error corresponding to the difference between the integrated voltage at the end of the integral period and the expected zero integral. Corresponding methods of gain tuning and a power converter are also described.
