Overview

RFDBL03C is an active frequency doubler, designed for use in the LO Path after VCO to double up the LO frequency within the IC to feed in and drive the mixer. The design utilizes active balun in push configuration and balanced amplifier using 0.1um GaAs pHEMT with high pass matching to attain good fundamental suppression, conversion gain of 1.97 dB at 0 dBm input drive power and good input and output VSWRs. The technology used to design doubler is 0.1um GaAs pHEMT process. Results are shown in datasheet with all parasitics & coupling effects at desired frequency.

A Flexible 200kHz-20MHz Ring Oscillator in a 40nm CMOS Technology

In this paper, we present a flexible ring oscillator IP designed for a 40nm CMOS technology, whose oscillation frequency can be chosen from 200kHz to 20MHz. It was developed using a new design approach, in which analog IPs are designed from scratch to be flexible, employing modular blocks that can be easily customized. The IP is silicon proven. It works with a supply voltage of 1.2V and features 5% frequency accuracy, occupying an area of 0.0022mm2.

From Classical CAN and CAN FD to CAN XL: Functional Safety and Security for Next-Generation In-Vehicle Communication

This article reviews the functional-safety attributes of Classical CAN and CAN FD, then explains how CAN XL preserves and extends them. It also discusses higher-layer safety protocols, fault-tolerant CAN XL controller implementations, and CANsec, the CAN XL security extension inspired by the MACsec model. Finally, it highlights how the CAST CAN XL controller IP and CANsec acceleration IP can support the efficient deployment of safety- and security-capable in-vehicle networks.
