摘要： Quadrature modulation systems, circuits and methods are provided to support various modulation modes including ASK (amplitude shift key), FSK (frequency shift key) and PSK (phase shift key) modulation at high data rates (e.g., gigabit data rates). For example, a modulation circuit includes a mixer circuit including an integrated sign modulation control circuit and a plurality of mixer ports. The mixer ports include a first input port, a second input port, an output port and a sign modulation control port. The modulation circuit generates a modulated signal by operation of the mixer circuit multiplying a modulating signal applied to the first input port with a carrier signal applied to the second input port to generate a mixed signal output from the output port, and by operation of the integrated sign modulation control circuit controlling polarity switching of a signal at one of the mixer ports in response to a sign modulation control signal input to the sign modulation control port. The sign modulation control signal can be a digital data signal having binary data encoded into the modulated signal.

摘要： This invention provides a circuit and method to replace the passive resistive or statically biased active load devices with dynamically biased active load devices. This allows the load devices to present an effective load which varies depending on the state of the circuit output. The effective load and the time rate of change of the effective load can be dynamically optimized to improve circuit performance with changing conditions. The effective load is varied according to the state of the circuit by the use of time-delayed negative feedback. The biasing of the load devices is also capable to control the logic swing of the circuit. A bias generating circuit employing a dynamically biased active load is described. This provides a method for a family of logic circuits, especially CML circuits, to operate at low voltage and low power at high switching speeds, having symmetrical rise and fall times and well defined logic signal swings. The output is sampled and maintained at near ideal bias voltage with a voltage follower type circuit which provides a gain of less than unity and finite delay. Particular circuit implementations using various semiconductor technologies are described and many others are possible. Although the invention may find primary use in VLSI logic circuits, especially those requiring high speed and low power, it is also shown to be useful in analog circuits. Alternate circuit configurations for dynamically biased active load devices are described.
