This paper presents a 12-bit 270MS/s pipelined analog-to-digital converter (ADC) without employing front-end sample-and-hold amplifier. A novel strategy is established to diminish the aperture error while maintaining both original tracking time and amplifying of multiplying digital-to-analog (MDAC). It matches signal paths between comparators MDAC in first stage by using proper timing sequence high-speed dynamic comparators. The measurement results show 63.7dB SNR 76.1dBc SFDR at 120.1MHz...
MEMS-enabled multilayer composites, in which microfabrication is used to create micron-scale thickness layers within the volume of meso-scale structures, can be exploited materials with highly anisotropic electromagnetic properties. Such have utility both sensing and energy applications, including electrostatic magnetic storage conversion. A fabrication challenge realizing these classes lies size-scale disparity between an individual layer desired final material. We demonstrate a fully...
A printed circuit board (PCB) integrated inductor with an additively electrodeposited polypyrrole-laminated nickel-iron (NiFe) core is presented for MHz dc–dc power conversion. The PCB-integrated has a racetrack-shaped winding, which formed using standard PCB manufacturing process. Subsequently, multilayers of NiFe and polypyrrole are to wrap laminated around the racetrack winding. 515 nH fabricated. fabricated shows dc resistance 290 mΩ peak quality factor 9.6 at 2.1 MHz. tested in 4 buck...
Metallic magnetic alloys are of interest as core materials in ultracompact or integrated inductors and transformers. However, when operated at high frequencies, such should comprise a multilayer stack material laminations electrically insulating interlayers to suppress eddy current loss. To achieve scalable continuous fabrication structure, sequential electrodeposition is an attractive approach. electrodeposition, interlayer's electrical conductivity be sufficiently permit subsequent layers,...
This Letter presents a wide supply voltage range, ultra‐low power, and CMOS‐only subthreshold reference. A complementary‐to‐absolute‐temperature ( ) generator implemented by standard transistor high is used to obtain negative temperature coefficient (TC) voltage.

We present a vacuum packaging process based on standard fused silica wafer bonding combined with laser-assisted simultaneous localized fusion and dicing technology. Direct of stacks results in an optically transparent package without introducing intermediate layers.

We fabricated one-turn-like wire inductor via electrodepositing magnetic core materials, NiFe, on the surface of cylindrical copper wires. The current was applied to flow through a which generated circumferential flux around wire. Control thickness and lengths showed tunability inductance values.
