Abstract
An embedded rectifier-based
Built-In-Test (BIT) detection circuit for the RF
integrated circuits is proposed in this work, and charge
pump rectifier is adopted to transform the RF output
signal into DC signal. In this BIT circuit, low
threshold voltage MOS transistor with positive
substrate bias is used to act as diode to further
improve the conversion efficiency and the detecting
sensitivity. With this BIT circuit, the minimum input
testing sensitivity can be improved to -50dBm. Also,
this circuit doesn't consume current and has very high
operating frequency scalability. As an example
2.4GHz low noise amplifier by using this BIT
detecting circuit has been verified, and gain and
linearity information can be obtained without
influencing the performance of the attached RF
circuits.
