Abstract:
Integrated circuit architectures for load and input matching that include a capacitance selectable between a plurality of discrete levels, which are associated with a number of field effect transistors (FET) capacitor structures that are in an on-state. The capacitance comprises a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitance associated with each of the FET capacitor structures, and may be selectable through application of a bias voltage applied between a first circuit node and a second circuit node. Gate electrodes of the FET capacitor structures may be coupled in electrical parallel to the first circuit node, while source/drains of the FET capacitor structures are coupled in electrical parallel to the second circuit node. Where the FET capacitor structures have different gate-source threshold voltages, the number of FET capacitor structures in the on-state may be varied according to the bias voltage, and the capacitance correspondingly tuned to a desired value. The FET capacitor structures may be operable in depletion mode and/or enhancement mode.
