    Abstract: An integrated circuit package includes an inductance loop formed from a connection of lead wires and one or more input/output (I/O) package pins. In one embodiment, the inductance loop is formed from first and second wires which connect a first bonding pad on the integrated circuit chip to a first I/O pin of the package and a third and fourth wires which connect a second bonding pad on the chip to a second I/O pin of the package. To complete the inductor loop, the first and second I/O pins are connected by a third conductor between the pins. The third conductor may include one or more bonding wires and the I/O pins are preferably ones which are adjacent one another. However, the loop may be formed from non-adjacent connections of I/ O pins based, for example, on loop-length requirements, space considerations, and/or other design or functional factors. In another embodiment, connection between the first and second I/O pins is established by making the I/O pins have a unitary construction. In another embodiment, connection between the first and second I/O pins is established by a metallization layer located either on the surface of the package substrate or within this substrate. By forming the inductor loop within the limits of the integrated circuit packag e, a substantial reduction in spacerequirements is realized, which, in turn, promotes miniaturization. Also, the integrated circuit may be implemented in any one of a variety of systems, at least one parameter of which is controll ed by the length of the inductor loop of the package.

    Abstract: A system and method for improving the signal-to-noise ratio of a frequency generator suppresses phase noise and noise generated from mismatches in the internal generator circuits. This is accomplished using a modulation scheme which shifts spurious noise signals outside the loop bandwidth of the generator. When shifted in this manner, the noise signals maybe removed entirely or to any desired degree using, for example, a filter located along the signal path of the generator. In one embodiment, a Sigma-Delta modulator controls the value of a pulse-swallow frequency divider situated along a feedback path of a phase-locked loop to achieve a desired level of noise suppression. In another embodiment, a reference signal input into a phase-locked loop is modulated to effect noise suppression. In another embodiment, the foregoing forms of modulation are combined to accomplish the desired frequency shift. Through these modulation techniques, the signal-to-noise ratio of the frequency generator may be substantially improved while simultaneously achieving faster lock times.

    Abstract: A voltage-controlled oscillator (600) including an active oscillator circuit (610), an inductor, and capacitive circuits is disclosed. The capacitive circuits are selectively turned on and off to control the frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator (600). Particularly, the inductor and the capacitors in the capacitive circuits form LC circuits that provide feedback to the active oscillator circuit (610). To avoid damage to the switches in t he capacitive circuits, the capacitive circuits further comprise resistors (622 ). The resistors can be configured in several different ways so that the voltag e- controlled oscillator (600) can have a high degree of reliability, and a wid e tuning range with constant phase noise performance.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a linearization apparatus and method. Preferred embodiments according to the present invention can combine an auxiliary non-linear block (300) to a functional block of a system to increa se linearity of an output signal (520) of the system such as a communication system. System overhead due to the non-linear auxiliary block can be small because of circuit structure, cost and low consumption. Further, the non- linear auxiliary block can be designed so that no feedback path is required. Further preferred embodiments can use a feedback path without loss of stability by using a cancellation apparatus or process based on an averaging detection of the output signal. For example, a feedback loop can detect powe r leakage in a sideband caused by non-linearities of the communication system.
