At the same time, the photoluminescence results show that the FWHM of UV is widened,which can be interpreted quantitatively with a semi-classic model. Furthermore, the intensity ratio between the yellow and the UV luminescences reduces monotonically with Si dopants increasing.展开更多

A new DAC architecture presents the benefits of a low power approach without applying the common mode voltage. The threshold inverter quantizer (TIQ)-based CMOS Inverter is used as a comparator in the ADC to avoid static power consumption which is attractive in battery-supply application. Sixteen level-up shifters aim at converting the ultra low core voltage control signals to the higher voltage level analog circuit in a 55 nm CMOS process. The whole ADC power consumption is 2.5 mW with a maximum input capaci- tance of 12 pF in the sampling mode. The active area of the proposed ADC is 0.0462 mm2 and it achieves the SFDR and ENOB of 65.6917 dB and 9.8726 bits respectively with an input frequency of 200 kHz at 1 MS/s sampling rate.展开更多

Due to the smaller change of the op-amp's output voltage, this topology is very suitable for low power applications. In addition, errors caused by the finite op-amp gain, input offset voltage, and 1/f noise are eliminated with the correlated double sampling technique. Additionally, two-level process calibration techniques are designed to minimize the process spread. Finally, a method of getting a full period valid reference voltage output is discussed and experimental results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed structure.展开更多
