Abstract: An optoelectronic package and a method for producing the optoelectronic package are provided. The optoelectronic package includes a carrier, a photonic device, a first encapsulant and a second encapsulant. The photonic device is disposed on the carrier. The first encapsulant covers the carrier and is disposed around the photonic device. The second encapsulant covers the first encapsulant and the photonic device. The first encapsulant has a topmost position and a bottommost position, and the topmost position is not higher than a surface of the photonic device.

Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) utilizing a capacitor array during multiple conversion stages and amplifier sharing across multiple lanes. In various embodiments, the ADC includes N lanes, each of the lanes including a capacitor array. A plurality of switches coupled to each capacitor array selectively redistributes a sampled charge during N clock phases corresponding to N conversion stages, the conversion stages including a sampling stage performed on an analog input signal, at least one quantization stage, and N?2 multiplying digital-to-analog conversion (MDAC) stages for generating residue voltages. The MDAC stages utilize a plurality of N?2 amplifiers shared by the N lanes. In operation, each amplifier may be used in an interleaved manner to support, during a given clock phase, an MDAC stage of one of the lanes of the ADC. Likewise, one or more comparators of a lane may be leveraged to perform multiple quantization stages during the N clock phases.

Abstract: A system includes a first storage element to store an input signal for a first sampling lane for a SHA-less stage. A first switch is connected with the first storage element, the first switch to control when the first storage element stores the input signal for sampling on the first sampling lane. A second switch is connected in series with the first switch, the second switch to control an instance for sampling the input signal stored on the first storage element for the first sampling lane.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a switched capacitor amplifier that includes a switched capacitor network and a complementary push-pull amplifier. The switched capacitor amplifier of the present disclosure can provide a larger fraction of the charge provided by a power supply and flowing through the amplifier to a capacitive load at the output of the amplifier compared to switched capacitor amplifiers that use single-ended class-A amplifiers. The switched capacitor amplifier of the present disclosure can be used in a converter stage of a pipelined analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to improve the ADC's power efficiency and/or bandwidth. It can be further generalized to be used in other applications other than pipelined ADCs.
