Contrary to the conventional Gilbert-type mixer which is based on RF current-commutating, the load impedance in this proposed mixer is controlled by the LO signal, and it has only two stacked transistors at each branch which is suitable for low voltage applications. The mixer was designed and fabricated in 0.18 tam CMOS process for 2.4 GHz ISM band applications. With an input of 2.44 GHz RF signal and 2.442 GHz LO signal, the measurement specifications of the proposed mixer are： the conversion gain （Gc） is 5.3 dB, the input-referred third-order intercept point （PIIP3） is 4.6 dBm, the input-referred 1 dB compression point （P1dB） is --7.4 dBm, and the single-sideband noise figure （NFSSB） is 21.7 dB.展开更多

This paper describes a low-power carry look-ahead adder with triple-threshold CMOS technique. While the low-threshold voltage transistors are used to reduce the propagation delay time in the critical path, the high-threshold voltage transistors are used to reduce the power consumption in the shortest path. Comparing with the conventional CMOS circuit, the circuit is achieved to reduce the power consumption by 14.71% and the power-delay-product by 16.11%. This circuit is designed with Samsung 0.35 um CMOS process. The validity and effectiveness are verified through the HSPICE simulation.展开更多
