A BiCMOS analog front-end to be used in a complete two-chip set with a digital signal processor for Compact Disc (CD) applications is presented. The proposed device exchanges data with the digital counterpart by means of a 12C-like bus serial interface. Four input signals (currents or voltages) are preamplified with flat group-delay and digitized with 6-bit (for servo path) and 8-bit (for RF path) accuracy. This accuracy is achieved without using an equalizer in the signal path. The system is designed to process CD signal with speed up to 4x (i.e. 3.2MHz bandwidth). The device is realized in a 0.7μm BiCMOS technology using 21.5mm2 chip area. © 2000 IEEE.

Abstract
A BiCMOS analog front-end to be used in a complete two-chip set with a digital signal processor for Compact Disc (CD) applications is presented. The proposed device exchanges data with the digital counterpart by means of a 12C-like bus serial interface. Four input signals (currents or voltages) are preamplified with flat group-delay and digitized with 6-bit (for servo path) and 8-bit (for RF path) accuracy. This accuracy is achieved without using an equalizer in the signal path. The system is designed to process CD signal with speed up to 4x (i.e. 3.2MHz bandwidth). The device is realized in a 0.7μm BiCMOS technology using 21.5mm2 chip area. © 2000 IEEE.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
