3 Motivations A Controllable high voltage DC-DC Converter High level of integration Low power consumption Tunable RF filter with High linearity and High selectivity 3

5 Why Tunable RF Filter? Tracking filter used in traditional TV tuner f max f min = C vmax C vmin ( C p >> C v Antenna ) L 1 L 2 C v C p R V tune =0.8V..28V Provider by the DC-DC Tunable Filters are needed because of : High dynamic range of the received signals Wide input bandwidth (F=[50MHz 870MHz]) 5

6 Implementation DC-DC UP V out D 1 D 2 D 3 DC-DC DOWN Ckup n Ckup p C 1 C 2 C 3 M diodes N diodes D 3 D 2 D 1 C Fringe capacitor Ckdw n Ckdw p C 3 C 2 C 1 Dickson Charge pump is implemented in 2.8V Bi-CMOS 0.25µm Technology (Break down voltage for collector substrate is B vcs0 =80V ) Stray capacitance C s has been reduced by the shielding done by the poly layer V out < (N+M)*V d (V d is the forward bias voltage of the diode) 6

7 Implementation R C V out =V tune 15M 1M V ck V ck Ckn Ck Resistors used have a breakdown voltage more than 200V and have a sheet resistance of 2000 /square + - V ref DAC Prog V ref enables to tune the center frequency of the tracking filter(vref =Vout/16) Spectre simulation time is really long! (40000 switching periods are required to capture the power-up (the output voltage starts from 0 volt to reach the steady state of 24 volts) How to decrease the time simulation? 7

8 What Is Ultrasim? UltraSim is a fast-spice hierarchical circuit simulator (Transistor level) which combines a variety of simulation technologies to allow high-capacity simulation of memories, digital, analog, RF and mixed-signal ICs with spicelike accuracy 8

20 Ultrasim Pros & Cons Pros Time saving with the same accuracy Factor 6 with DC DC Converter Would have been a great help on time saving during the design phase Cons Spectre is the reference tool, take care of ultrasim simulation results of a global system for which spectre simulation is not possible Sometimes prohibitive simulation time due to not optimized local settings : use the activity report Transient analog signal, no RF capabilities Bipolar transistors not taken into account in the table model simplification Ultrasim-Verilog : not possible to save / load an intermediate step 20

21 Conclusions A Controllable High Voltage DC-DC converter has been presented A novel solution has been used to decrease the output voltage rapidly The new discharge system solves the problem of the high tuning voltage requirement for MEMS and SMD variable capacitors The forward bias voltage V d is the main limitation of the output voltage Ultrasim have been a great help on time saving during the design phase Ultrasim allows the exploration of more design configurations, the accuracy is excellent for such Bi-CMOS circuit Ultrasim simulator is a very efficient to make possible bottom-up verification for all IC builder 21
