|---|---|---|
A 60-GHz power amplifier (PA) with a reliability consideration for a hot-carrier-induced (HCI) degradation is presented. The supply voltage of the last stage of the PA (V-PA) is dynamically controlled by an on-chip digitally-assisted low drop-out voltage regulator (LDO) to alleviate HCI effects. A physical model for estimation of HCI degradation of NMOSFETs is discussed and investigated for dynamic operation. The PA is fabricated in a standard 65-nm CMOS process with a core area of 0.21 mm(2), which provides a saturation power of 10.1 dBm to 13.2 dBm with a peak power-added efficiency (PAE) of 8.1% to 15.0% for the supply voltage V-PA which varies from 0.7 V to 1.0 V at 60 GHz, respectively. |
