    DC Component of Power Spectrum of Random Binary Bits toggling from +1 and -1 ?

    Hi, I am reading Behzad Razavi's "Design of Integrated Circuits for Optical Communication". In Eq. (2.2), it describes the power spectrum of a random binary bit sequence as, Sx(f) = (1/Tb) * |P(f)|^2, where x(t) = Σ bk * p(t-k*Tb) for bk = ±1 and P(f) = Tb*sinc(f*Tb) Since...

    Kcco of Current Controlled Ring Oscillator

    Hi, Folks, I observed non-linear relationship of oscillation frequency vs. supply current in a simple 3-stage single-ended ring oscillator as shown in the attached plot. Can anyone explain or provide reference to derive this relationship. Thanks.

    Active Noise Cancellation Headphone High-Frequency Performance?

    Hello, Folks, I am looking for a pair of Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) headphones that could cancel human speaking. But almost all headphones in the market are just cancelling the low-frequency noises such as engine or fan. I do not understand why the higher-frequency parts of human voices...

    Wireline High-Speed TX Pre-emphasis FIR Filter Response.

    Hello, Folks, An online tutorial (Intel SI Fundamentals Short Course - Equalization) shows an TX Pre-emphasis FIR filter has such frequency response: The green line in the above figure shows that there is a dip at 6.4GHz for the 6.4Gb/s data transmission. I do not understand why there...

    Transmission-Gate DC ON-resistance Temperature Coefficient Positive?

    timof, Thanks for the answer. I need to study a bit why mobility goes down when temperature rises.

    Transmission-Gate DC ON-resistance Temperature Coefficient Positive?

    Dear Folks, I observed that for a pair of complementary transmission-gates (PMOS//NMOS), the DC ON-resistance increases as temperature rises. It seems contradicting that the threshold voltage of transistors (Vth) becomes smaller as temperature rises such that the overdrive across each of...

    Power Good(OK) Circuit References?

    Dick and Yamato, Thanks for your suggestions. Is there any circuit diagrams on the web we can share. It is fine if there is none.

    Power Good(OK) Circuit References?

    mtwieg: Thank you for your kind reply. Yes, I am designing a DC-DC converter for 1.8V power good detection. Either too high or too low will generate power error signals. If you have some good application specific documents, could you please reference them? Thank you.
