This paper presents a continuously and widely tunable analog baseband chain with a digital-assisted calibration scheme implemented on a 0.13μm CMOS technology.The analog baseband is compliant with several digital broadcasting system（DBS） standards,including DVB-S,DVB-S2,and ABS-S.The cut-off frequency of the baseband circuit can be changed continuously from 4.5 to 32 MHz.The gain adjustment range is from 6 to 55.5 dB with 0.5 dB step.The calibration includes automatic frequency tuning（AFT） and automatic DC offset calibration （DCOC） to achieve less than 6%cut-off frequency deviation and 3 mV residual output offset.The out-of-band IIP2 and IIP3 of the overall chain are 45 dBm and 18 dBm respectively,while the input referred noise（IRN） is 17.4 nV/Hz1/2.All circuit blocks are operated at 2.8 V from LDO and consume current of 20.4 mA in the receiving mode.
The single event effect in ferroelectric-gate field-effect transistor(FeFET) under heavy ion irradiation is investigated in this paper. The simulation results show that the transient responses are much lower in a FeFET than in a conventional metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor(MOSFET) when the ion strikes the channel. The main reason is that the polarization-induced charges(the polarization direction here is away from the silicon surface) bring a negative surface potential which will affect the distribution of carriers and charge collection in different electrodes significantly. The simulation results are expected to explain that the FeFET has a relatively good immunity to single event effect.
The alternation from bipolar to unipolar resistive switching is observed in perovskite La0.01Sr0.99TiO3thin films.These two switching modes can be activated separately depending on the compliance current(Icomp)during the electroforming process:with a higher Icomp(5 mA)the unipolar resistance switching behavior is measured,while the bipolar resistance switching behavior is observed with a lower Icomp(1 mA).On the basis of I–V characteristics,the switching mechanisms for the URS and BRS modes are considered as being a change in the Schottky-like barrier height and/or width at the Pt/La-SrTiO3interface and the formation and disruption of conduction filaments,respectively.
