    how to increase the gain in a charge scaling DAC

    Well.... You could do it with an OTA, or you could do something similar to a bucket-brigade charge transfer method. Look up the VLSI 2008 paper by Kenet Inc, or the recent paper by Hu & Murmann for more info on those methods. Without an active device of some sort, though, I'm not sure you can...

    Bipolar OPAMP Noise - calculating Noise in a Bipolar OPAMP

    Bipolar OPAMP Noise Are you counting the extra noise from the current source in the folded cascode?

    Kickback in a sample and hold

    You need to look carefully at bottom-plate sampling, and decide on a good way to sample your 2 SHAs. The quantity you are interested in is the *charge*, so if you sample correctly, voltage kickback won't matter, as long as the charge is accurately sampled.

    Looking for some guide to 90 nm CMOS design

    Look at gm/id design methodology. Stanford EE214 lecture notes, and there are some other papers on this as well. The idea is to abandon square-law equations, and design based upon plots made from the technology.

    effect of non uniform preamplifier gain on comparator speed

    comparator speed OK - you need to consider: What is the purpose of the preamp in the first place? I can think of at least two important reasons to have it: 1 - to provide an amplified input signal to the latch. We know that the delay of the latch is proportional to -tau*ln(Vin) where tau is...

    suggest an amplifier/comparator

    Since the signal looks synchronous, maybe you can use a clocked comparator? 1ns might be enough time for a fast comparator to do it's thang...

    Transistor transconductance

    In an opamp, there are a few important specs. First there is the gain, which is expressed in terms of gm*R terms (for each stage). So you see that when gm changes, the total gain changes. However, this isn't usually a big deal, since the gain is made very large, and small variations don't matter...

    FET Resistive Mixer, how to improve the linearity?

    improve ip3 linearity fet The "rule-of-thumb" relation between P1dB and IP3 holds when the nonlinearity is dominated by the third-order product.

    non-lineair distortion

    Use the following trig identities: cos^2(x) = 1/2(1+cos(2x)) cos^3(x) = 1/4(3cos(x)+cos(3x)) cos(x)cos(y)=1/2(cos(x+y)+cos(x-y))

    universal rf remote control

    Depends on if all of your appliances are in one room. You need as many receivers as it takes to get a line-of-sight path to all of your appliances. The idea is simply to broadcast the ordinary lR data over an RF link...

    Looking for some SERDES introduction

    SERDES introduction You could look at a textbook by Daley & Poulton, it covers some circuits for high speed communications systems. Also, Razavi put out a collection of papers on PLLs.

    I cannot solve these problems..need some help

    #3 is pretty easy: for a circle, A=pi*r^2 and P=2pi*r, so P/A=2pi*r/(pi*r^2)=2/r. For a sqaure, A=s^2 and P=4s, so P/A=4/s.
