Abstract
A high-frequency mixed analog/digital Si bipolar circuit technology with high-voltage output stages that integrates 1-GHz analog circuits with 10-GHz cutoff frequencies, 1-GHz low-power emitter-coupled-logic/integrated-injection-logic phase-locked-loop (ECL/I2L PLL) circuits, and 100-V output circuits is discussed. A bipolar ECL/I2L technology is used because the small logic swings and current mode operations of ECL/I2L are better suited to the reduction of digital noise than CMOS. An advanced SICOS2 technology that attains the performance required for consumer applications with reasonable cost is described. An all-band TV tuner IC with on-chip phase-locked loop (PLL) demonstrates the performance of this technology.
