This paper focuses on the impact of segmentation on the linearity performance of gigasample rate current-steering digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The effect of their output impedance drop and code-dependency occurring at increasingly higher data rates is studied with the purpose of deriving relevant design constraints about the segmentation scheme choice. This analysis is supported by extensive simulation results carried out with special attention to the spurious-free-dynamic-range (SFDR) and third-order-intermodulation-distortion (IM3) metrics. Lastly, a 10-bit 6.4 GS/s DAC designed in a 55-nm BiCMOS technology is presented and discussed in relation to the previously determined scenarios. Besides featuring a 65.9-dBc SFDR at 1 GHz and an IM3 < -68.1 dBc over the Nyquist band, it occupies a silicon area below 0.05 mm

Emerging applications in the Sub-THz bands need ultra-wideband amplifiers, able to cover the wide available spectrum portions with a single component. Techniques such as distributed amplifiers or stagger-tuning are commonly adopted, at the cost of power efficiency, linearity and noise figure degradation. This paper proposes a design flow for ultra-wideband matching networks with a sixth-order frequency response. The networks fit well into the layout, absorbing parasitics and embedding the interconnections for signal propagation, biasing and supply of the active stages. The networks are exploited in the design of a 3-stage D-band low-noise amplifier in a SiGe BiCMOS technology. Experiments demonstrate 105- to- $175 \mathrm{GHz}-3 \mathrm{~dB}$ bandwidth with 23 dB gain. The fractional bandwidth, in excess of 50%, is among the highest reported in similar frequency bands. Simultaneously, a very low noise figure, ranging from 5 dB to 6.5 dB, confirms the validity of the proposed approach to enhance the performance of mm-Wave wideband amplifiers.

This paper proposes a novel switch implementation for enabling transmitting and receiving (TX/RX) through one single wire in ultrasound imaging transceivers. The proposed structure consists of a resistor and two current sources controlled by a DC loop. This implementation allows driving the primary switch with the low-voltage (LV) power supply available for the transceiver front-end, while providing isolation to the front-end from the high-voltage (HV) pulses required for driving the transducer in TX mode. Furthermore, by employing a DC control loop, the design not only ensures off-isolation, but also allows having zero leakage current. The proposed TX/RX switch has been designed in a 160-nm bipolar-CMOS-DMOS silicon-on-insulator (BCD-SOI) technology with a 3.3-V supply voltage. Simulation results of the proposed structure confirm its effectiveness in achieving isolation voltages of up to 200 V peak-to-peak at 3-MHz operational frequency with -42-dB off-isolation.
