The differential pair is one of the basic amplifying stages in amplifier design. Aiming at the the design of low-distortion amplifiers, a simple model for a differential pair is derived using the Volterra series. The parameters in this model correspond to ...
This article presents a power-efficient and low-voltage CMOS output driver circuit based on low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) standard. To reduce the ringing at the output of the proposed driver circuit and simultaneously keep the power consumption ...
Abstract—A platform based on an active-pixel-sensor electrode array (APS-MEA) for high-resolution imaging of invitro electrogenic cell cultures is presented, characterized and validated under culture conditions. The system enables full frame acquisition at ...
In this paper we present a method for predicting nonlinear distortion in electronic circuits using the Volterra series. Simple expressions for the distortion in a Common-Emitter stage are determined. Designers may use these expressions to get a quick insig ...
As dictated by ongoing technology scaling and the advent of multi-core systems, each new generation of microprocessors and digital signal processors provides higher computing power and data throughput. However, the available bandwidth of the input/output ( ...
A Hall sensor comprises a Hall element (1; 30; 31; 60) and an amplifier (2; 32; 33). The Hall element is placed inside the amplifier so that the current flowing through the Hall element also flows through the transistors of an amplifier stage of the amplif ...
A semiconductor device, such as a memory device or radiation detector, is disclosed, in which data storage cells are formed on a substrate. Each of the data storage cells includes a field effect transistor having a source, drain, and gate, and a body arran ...
The differential difference amplifier (DDA) is considered as a versatile building block for the analogue processing of floating voltages. An automatic offset compensation scheme is proposed for the DDA structure. A digital successive approximation algorith ...
A novel active-RC biquad is presented which can be reconfigured as a polyphase filter for a low IF wireless receiver architecture, and as a lowpass filter for a zero IF wireless receiver architecture. A second order lowpass-polyphase reconfigurable filter ...
We have directly measured, under operating conditions, the distributions of carrier densities and temperatures in a gain-clamped semiconductor optical amplifier designed for operation at 1.55 mum. As expected, longitudinal spatial hole burning is much smal ...
