In this paper, a second-order RF bandpass filter based on active inductor has been
implemented in a 0.35/spl mu/m CMOS process. Issues related to the intrinsic quality factor …

The main focus of this book is to provide the reader with a deep understanding of modeling
and design strategies of Current-Mode digital circuits, as well as to organize in a coherent …

A new method for deriving an equation for the oscillation frequency of a ring oscillator is
proposed. The method is general enough to be used for a variety of types of delay stages …

A hands-on troubleshooting guide for VLSI network designers The primary goal in VLSI
(very large scale integration) power network design is to provide enough power lines across …

The following description is presented to enable any per son skilled in the art to make and
use the disclosed embodi ments, and is provided in the context of a particular applica tion …

A high performance, high frequency phase-locked loop (PLL), based on a divider-less
structure is presented in this paper. This PLL includes an open-loop phase frequency …

Broad-band phase-locked loops (PLLs) are proposed for burst-mode clock and data
recovery in optical multiaccess networks. Design parameters for a charge-pump PLL-based …

Current PET systems with fully digital trigger rely on early digitization of detector signals and
the use of digital processors, usually FPGAs, for recognition of valid gamma events on single …

This brief presents the timing analysis of a half-rate phaselocked loop (PLL) with a bang-
bang phase detector. The lock-in behavior of the PLL is discussed and parameters such as …

This paper presents performance, power and area comparisons of LC vs. Ring VCO-based
PLL designs in order to determine the best option for high-speed spread spectrum clock …
