This paper presents two approaches to improve the performance of RF low noise amplifiers (LNAs) and downconversion mixers. One approach is for noise enhancement and the other is for improving flatness ...

In our previous post Low Power LDO Design Techniques for Really Small Profile Applications, Part 1, we reviewed LDO design tradeoffs using an NMOS pass transistor. This design approach is proven good ...

The nMOS drain-current rating and the inductors’ current rating comply with the values given by Equations 34, 35, and 36. Now calculate the series capacitor with the following formula, and then choose ...

TOKYO — Toshiba Corp. has developed a one-transistor, no-capacitor cell structure that it claims solves the difficulties encountered in producing DRAMs in sub-0.1-micron process technology. The ...

In most switching applications, the bootstrap circuit is widely used to drive the high-side metal-oxidesemiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). This bootstrap circuit technique has the ...

LTSpice is a tool that every electronics nerd should have at least a basic knowledge of. Those of us who work professionally in the analog and power worlds rely heavily on the validity of our ...
