    hi, I' am importing S parameters from HFSS into NPORT in cadence-virtuoso

    more detailed information. how do you set nport and what is in input.scs line 61? I think the problem is easy to figure out.

    Why ground-ring of spiral inductor is narrow in PDK

    Hi volker@muehlhaus and BigBoss You help me much. Do you mean the GND at bottom of substrate by saying " mutual inductance effect between the inductor and the ground frame"? I see you are using Sonnet, but what do you think of using lumped port in HFSS to de-embed following attaching picture ?

    Why ground-ring of spiral inductor is narrow in PDK

    I very appreciate your reply. The M1 ring is not closed but cut in one terminal. Do you think what the M1 ring is for? perfect E boundary in bottom of Sub is used for ground in spiralinductor.pdf, I do the same to verify PDK inductor. And connect spiral ring with ground ( bottom of Sub )...

    TSMC inductor HFSS simulation vs TSMC PDK

    Hi friend, I'm facing the same problem when simulating inductor from PDK in TSMC. The Q factor is low unless changing guarding material from M1 to pec. It seems that the guard ring is not current return path. what do you think of if? Do you deal with it?

    Why ground-ring of spiral inductor is narrow in PDK

    Thanks I export gdsII of inductor from virtuoso. the guard ring is M1 of tsmcN65 1p9m process. I think the guarding ring may be used as current return path in this way it connects two ports. As you know there are always guard ring in PDK like tsmc. I using two port s-parameter, calculate L...

    Why ground-ring of spiral inductor is narrow in PDK

    I'm simulating a m9 spiral inductor with m1 ground ring in HFSS. The L is close with data of PDK, but Q factor is very low compared with PDk. I think the narrow is reason why Q factor is low, but as you see, ground ring indeed is narrow. I think ground ring as current return path should not be...

    problem when launching hspice from matlab

    The launching code as follow system('E:\Synopsys\Hspice_F-2011.09\BIN\hspice techchar.sp > techchar.out'); After simulating, techchar.out is not created. I don't know why. ************************************************************************************************************** original...

    Open-loop Gain av0 More useful than ro

    Can you explain Why intrinsic gain is more usefull than ro? He plot gmro vs.vds curve instead of ro vs. vds curve in 'Analog Circuit Design with Submicron Transistors © 2004 B. Boser 25'

    DC gain in gm/id method

    Thanks for your elaborate reply. Do you point "The gmId Methodology, A Sizing tool for low-voltage analog CMOS circuits" for "Jespers book"?

    DC gain in gm/id method

    Hi erikl, thank you a lot. Does the book talk about the voltage biasing like cascode ckt and how to deal with ICMR and output swing ? It seems a little different with EE214 handout of Murmman(design based on gm/id)

    DC gain in gm/id method

    If SR, DC gain, f(-3dB), load capacitance It seems like that there is not clear direct relation between gm/Id vs. gmro since ro is just a part of gmro when gm is not determined in differential input amplifier with current mirror load. the DC gain is gm1*(ro1|ro2), but I think it's not easy to...

    how to determine IC(inversion coefficient) and how to bridge it with gain

    how to determine Gm/Id and how to bridge it with gain In analog IC design, I extract some parameters through simulation but not accurate,sometimes 50% error. I feel Gm/Id method may be a better choice. but how to determine IC i should used in design. however I don't know how to relate IC with...
