Abstract

A new CMOS large-current-output positive pump is proposed and compared with the conventional pump in this paper. In this new pump scheme, two auxiliary pumps which are driven by non-overlapping clocks control the transfer and precharge switches, respectively, increasing the 'ON' conductance of the transfer switches very much at sub-1-V-V_DD range. The output current improvement of this new pump reaches to 1.6 times larger than the conventional pump with an area penalty less than 10%. This new pump was fabricated in 0.35-μm n-well process technology and its effectiveness is firstly verified experimentally in this paper.

A high output swing current-steering DAC using voltage controlled current source

As the supply voltage decreasing to near 1V, the output swing of the CS-DAC (current-steering digital-to-analogue converter) is limited by the minimum biasing voltage of the current source array, which is approximately 0.4V. This voltage takes one-third ...
