Antonio Liscidini Assistant Professor University of Pavia Italy A 1.25mW 75dB SFDR continuous time filter below kT/C in-band noise A filter technique based on cross-connected cascoded devices gives in-band high pass noise shaping and passive pre-filtering out-of-band blockers. This results in both below kT/C in-band noise and out-of-band high IIP3. A 4th order low pass prototype in 90nm CMOS for WCDMA application has 32µV noise, integrated in the standard bandwidth, and +36dBm out-of band IIP3 which results in a 75dB SFDR with 1.25mW power consumption. Active die area is 0.5mm^2. Biography: Antonio Liscidini was born in Tirano, Italy, in 1977. He received the Laurea degree (summa cum laude) and PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy, in 2002 and 2006 respectively. He was a summer intern at National Semiconductors in 2003 (Santa Clara, CA) studying poly phase filters and CMOS LNA. Currently he is an Assistant Professor at the University of Pavia and his research interests are in the implementations of analog RF front-end in CMOS and BiCMOS technology, with particular focus on the analysis and design of LNAs for multistandard applications, ultra low power receivers and digital PLLs. In addition to his academic activities, he has been acting as a consultant for Marvell Semiconductors in the area of integrated circuit design. He received the /Best Student Paper Award at IEEE 2005 Symposium on VLSI Circuits. From Dec. 2007, he serves as Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II: Express Briefs.
