A 10Gbit/s burst-mode transimpedance preamplifier is described. Regulated cascade (RGC) TIA core with variable gain, fast response peak detector, single-to-differential and output buffer are included, providing auto-gain-control and threshold extraction functions. The burst-mode preamplifier is implemented by 0.13µm CMOS technology, presents a high gain of 67.9dB with a 3-dB bandwidth of 6.92GHz and a low gain of 57.4dB with a 3-dB bandwidth of 8.60GHz with a settling time less than 20ns.

A fully integrated three stage cascaded radio frequency variable gain amplifier (RFVGA) linearly controlled by exponential current generation circuit is presented. The gain control is unequally distributed in each stage for noise figure (NF) and linearity performance. The dB-linear gain control is realized using pseudo exponential current generated by CMOS current summing circuit with a voltage to current converter. The RFVGA has over 50 dB dynamic range. Gain changes from -38.5 to 16.8 dB according to control voltage that varies from 0.5 to 1.8 V. It operates at 0.95–2.15 GHz. This design is implemented in 0.18 μm CMOS technology.

Cell Structures

Various methods of video-enhanced microscopy combine TV cameras with light microscopes creating images with improved resolution, contrast and visibility of fine detail, which can be recorded rapidly and relatively inexpensively. The AVEC (Allen Video-enhanced Contrast) method avoids polarizing rectifiers, since the microscope is operated at retardations of λ/9- λ/4, where no anomaly is seen in the Airy diffraction pattern. The iris diaphram is opened fully to match the numerical aperture of the condenser to that of the objective. Under these conditions, no image can be realized either by eye or photographically. Yet the image becomes visible using the Hamamatsu C-1000-01 binary camera, if the camera control unit is equipped with variable gain control and an offset knob (which sets a clamp voltage of a D.C. restoration circuit). The theoretical basis for these improvements has been described.

Practical Stabilization

This paper studies the practical stability of incorporating integral compensation into the original low-and-high gain feedback law. The motivation for the incorporation is for achieving output regulation in the presence of constant disturbances without the use of a very large high-gain parameter required in the original approach. Due to numerical accuracy, the employment of very large high-gain parameters to eliminate steady-state error has the potential for inducing undesirable chattering effect on the control signal. A set of linear matrix inequalities is formulated in this study to obtain the related design parameters, by which the incorporation can achieve both the practical stabilization and asymptotic output regulation in the presence of input saturation and constant disturbances. Furthermore, the saturation of the control input can be shown to vanish in finite time during the process of regulation. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
