A Novel Technique of Component Sharing in Analog Integrated Circuits

This paper presents an approach by which common components can be shared within two separate analog blocks. Here, we have utilized two separate blocks i.e., oscillator and low noise amplifier (LNA). Both of them has the common LC tank which are shared through SPDT switching system. The noteworthy outcome will be significant reduction of silicon area consumption due to the sharing. Finally, we have shown a comparison on how the introduction of SPDT system affects the performance of oscillator or LNA. We have demonstrated the comparison through depictions and tabular forms.
