    steepest slope for the time response of the comparator

    Setting the second derivative to zero finds the local max/min of the first derivative, which in other words is finding the steepest slope.

    How to model a N-well in a substrate model?

    Modeling N-well Hi all, I was wondering how to best model a N-well in a substrate model. Is a diode model sufficient? If so, should the size simply reflect the total surface area? Any papers or documents about this would be appreciated. Thanks.

    time of execution of a C program

    seems like a problem with your algorithm. try looking at your Ainverse matrix for simple cases to see if the inversion is correct.

    What's wrong with the asynchronous counter? Pls advise...

    So after the state 1010, the next rising clock will change q0 to 1 which subsequently changes q1 to 0. At this point, the output is 1001. When this happens, your NAND gate will set the output to 1110, as you had expected. The problem is that this means that q2 and q3 both see a rising edge...

    How to determine the input capacitance (Cin) of a circuit using Hspice?

    hspice problem you can use ".option captab" to print out the capacitances at each node.

    How to change signal between A and B w/o cutting the wire?

    Is this possible? the parallel method is for signals at much higher frequencies. you can probably just solder a simple R and C at one end for a simple RC filter. or if you need more selectivity, then insert a generic IC filter.

    SNR of sigma delta modulator

    There is a free MATLAB toolbox for delta-sigma design. After you install the toolkit, you can use the function calculateSNR to find your SNR of your frequency spectrum. https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/loadFile.do?objectId=19

    Single-ended to Differential

    Hi all, I was wondering how to best convert a single-ended signal to a differential signal. Is a balun appropriate for most applications? Thanks.

    analog design flow...

    Corners are the extreme conditions for which the design must still meet the design specifications. For example, you may design a circuit with a power supply of 2.5 V, but the circuit should still work for values a little bit above and a little bit below.

    serial data to parallel two bit data

    you can use a simple shift register and D flip-flops to latch the data every two bits.

    how power can be calculated

    rms voltage is found by multiplying the peak value by 0.707 (approx for 1/sqrt(2)). KWH cannot be found with simply V and I. A KWH is found by multiplying watts by the time the device is in use. See link for def of apparent power. **broken link removed**

    how to convert the hspice_model into spectre_model?

    Cadence has a built-in SPICE reader. If you are using the Analog Environment, simply go to Setup-Environment and set the SPICE Netlist Reader option to yes. If you are using the command line, refer to the spectre user's guide. Hope that helps.

    How to model a voltage controlled switch in HSPICE?

    Vswitch in Hspice??? You need to specify a voltage value greater than zero for vs. Otherwise, you will not have any current flowing through the switch and the voltage at node 2 will not change.
