Public award description
THE SUPPLY VOLTAGES OF MODERN BASEBAND DIGITAL INTEGRATED CIRCUITS ARE WELL BELOW THE REQUIRED ACTUATION VOLTAGES FOR THE MEMS TUNABLE FILTERS. THEREFORE, A CHARGE PUMP IS USED TO ACHIEVE THE REQUIRED HIGH ACTUATION VOLTAGE FOR THE MEMS DEVICES. CURRENT STATE-OF-THE-ART CHARGE PUMP DESIGNS PRODUCE OUTPUT VOLTAGE RIPPLES AS HIGH AS 1 V, WHICH HAS ADVERSE EFFECTS ON FILTER PERFORMANCE, AND THIS IS A CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY GAP. THE PROPOSED TECHNOLOGY WILL CLOSE THIS GAP BY DELIVERING TWO INTEGRATED CIRCUITS (ICS), A HIGH-EFFICIENCY CHARGE PUMP WITH LOW-RIPPLE OUTPUT AND A FILTER DESIGN THAT IS IMMUNE TO BIAS NOISE (CAUSED BY THE RIPPLE).
