This research work aims at eliminating the off-chip RF SAW filters from fre-
quency division duplexed (FDD) receivers. In the first approach, a monolithic passive
RF filter was constructed using on-chip capacitors and bondwire inductors. The bond-
wire characteristics were studied in details and the effect of mutual inductive coupling
between the bondwires on the filter performance was analyzed. Based on that, a bond-
wire configuration was proposed to improve the frequency response of the filter. The
filter was implemented in 0.18 μm CMOS process for WCDMA applications.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is one of the most prevalent threats to the reliability
of electronic components. It is an event in which a finite amount of charge is trans-
ferred from one object (i.e., human body) to another (i.e., microchip). This process
can result in a very high current passing through the microchip within a very short
period of time, and, hence, more than 35% of chip damages can be attributed to an
ESD-related event. As such, designing on-chip ESD structures to protect integrated
circuits against the ESD stresses is a high priority in the semiconductor industry.
數字化電源的特點：1.控制智能化它是以數字信號處理器(DSP)或微控制器(MCU)為核心，將數字電源驅動器及PWM控制器作為控制對象而構成的智能化開關電源系統。傳統的由微控制器控制的開關電源，一般只是控制電源的啟動和關斷，并非真正意義的數字電源。2.數模組件組合優化采用“整合數字電源”(Fusion Digital Power)技術，實現了開關電源中模擬組件與數字組件的優化組合。例如，功率級所用的模擬組件MOSFET驅動器，可以很方便地與數字電源控制器相連并實現各種保護及偏置電源管理，而PWM控制器也屬于數控模擬芯片。3.集成度高實現了電源系統單片集成化(Power System on Chip)，將大量的分立式元器件整合到一個芯片或一組芯片中。4.控制精度高能充分發揮數字信號處理器及微控制器的優勢，使所設計的數字電源達到高技術指標。例如，其脈寬調制(PWM)分辨力可達150ps(10~12s)的水平，這是傳統開關電源所望塵莫及的。數字電源還能實現多相位控制、非線性控制、負載均流以及故障預測等功能，為研制綠色節能型開關電源提供了便利條件。5.模塊化程度高數字電源模塊化程度高，各模塊之間可以方便地實現有機融合，便于構成分布式數字電源系統，提高電源系統的可靠性。

Analog signal enter the programmable amplifier circuit, shaping circuit and other pre-processing circuit. The shaped rectangular wave signal is sent to FPGA for measure the frequency. According to the frequency value to select AD on-chip or off-chip high-speed AD for sampling. FPGA controls the off-chip AD sampling and buffers AD data by FIFO module. The single chip microcomputer receives the data, and do FFT for spectrum analysis. The test shows that the simple oscilloscope can realize automatic gain selection, sampling at different sampling rates, high precision frequency measurement and spectrum analysis.
The GL823K integrates a high speed 8051 microprocessor and a high efficiency hardware engine for the best data transfer performance between USB and flash card interfaces. Its pin assignment design fits to card sockets to provide easier PCB layout. Inside the chip, it integrates 5V to 3.3V regulator, 3.3V to 1.8V regulator and power MOSFETs and it enables the function of on-chip clock source (OCCS) which means no external 12MHz XTAL is needed and that effectively reduces the total BOM cost.
