Overview

The TI-RF-CMP is a low power RF comparator with 4 ns propagation delay designed for using in applications, where continuous-into-discrete signal conversion or comparison of voltages is required. The comparator can be used in digital systems for clock recovery. The device is equipped with the latching (fixation) function of the output signal. The input stage cascade is implemented in CMOS transistors providing low input bias current. The comparator operation is specified over the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
GDSII database contains a ring of pads with built-in ESD-protection up to 2000 V.

Key features

  • Single-supply operation: 3 V to 5 V
  • 4 ns propagation delay at 5 V supply voltage

Achieving Groundbreaking Performance with a Digital PLL

This article compares analog, first-generation digital, and second-generation digital PLLs. It evaluates which type of PLL may be best in which situation. It further discloses a roadmap into other application areas, including general purpose / logic clocking, and regular low-jitter PLLs.

Improving Battery-Powered Device Operation Time Thanks To Power Efficient Sleep Mode

Allowing battery-powered devices to run, without battery recharge, for years rather than months, partakes in enhancing significantly end-user satisfaction and is a key point to enabling the emergence of IoT applications. Numerous applications, such as M2M, BLE, Zigbee…, have an activity rate (duty cycle) such that the power consumption in sleep mode dominates the overall current drawn by the SoC (System on Chip). For such applications, the design of the “Always-On power domain" (a.k.a AON power domain) is pivotal.

Generating High Speed CSI2 Video by an FPGA

In this article, we show how fast video streams conforming to MIPI CSI2 rev2.0 over MIPI DPHY rev1.2 can be generated, using VLSI Plus’ SVTPlus-CSI2-F IP core, with simple off-FPGA analog front-end. The high bit rates can be achieved with a relatively slow FPGA clock frequency, trading off FPGA resources for simple timing closure.
