This paper presents YELLOWSTONE, a single chip, low-voltage, synchronous Buck DC-DC converter implementing a current mode PWM controller with built-in N & P-channel power MOSFETs. It aims to be used as a Point-of-Load (PoL) switched mode power supply with a maximum output current of 500mA. It generates from a typical +3.3V or +5V voltage input a lower voltage output between +0.9V and +3.3V configurable by an external resistor network. It has been specified and designed for operation at temperatures from −55°C to +225°C. Synchronous rectification increases efficiency and reduces external components count. The circuit achieves power efficiencies in excess of 90%. The chip implements a current mode PWM control which enables a fast response to line and load transient variations. A high switching frequency (1.5MHz typical with internal clock and up to 2MHz with external clock) has been selected enabling a dramatic reduction of the number and size of passive external components. The current mode control made possible to use a simple compensation loop and to integrate it. High integration level, tiny IC package (5mm*5.5mm) and small external passive components, lead to a very small footprint for the complete PoL function, i.e. as small as 0.25inch2 (10mm*15mm).

This paper investigates a current mode active inductor. In the proposed active inductor, three current mirrors have been connected to each other to realize the negative feedback. This active conductor has a two layer transistor structure. A 4.257 GHz, 1.2-V power supply non-inductive LC negative resistor oscillator, base on two of the proposed active inductors, is demonstrated.

Abstract Lock-in IR-OBIRCH analysis, as a kind of static thermal laser stimulation (S-TLS) technique, is very effective to isolate a fault for the parametric failure cases. However, its capability is limited to localize a defect when the IC is operated under a defined operating condition. Whereas the dynamic thermal laser stimulation (D-TLS) technique is good at locating a fault while the IC is operated under some functions to activate the failure. In this paper, a novel method is presented to realize DTLS just by Lock-in IR-OBIRCH assisted with a Current Detection Probe Head. Two cases are studied to demonstrate the effectiveness of this method.

Background: The original filter including grounded or virtual ground capacitors can be synthesized by using the NAM expansion. However, so far the filters including floating capacitor, such as Sallen-Key filter, have not been synthesized by means of the NAM expansion. This is a problem to be researched further. Methods: By using the adjoint network theory, the Sallen-Key filter including floating capacitor first is turned into a current-mode one, which includes a grounded capacitor and a virtual ground capacitor. Then the node admittance matrix, after derived, is extended by using NAM expansion. Results: At last, one VDTA Sallen-Key filter is received. It employs single compact VDTA and two grounded capacitors. Conclusion: A Butterworth VDTA second-order frequency filter based on Sallen-Key topology with fo = 100kHz, HLP = -HBP=1, is designed.
