    Random clock simulate in cadence

    You can use 'vpwlf' and read the input from a file.

    kt/c noise of sample and hold

    Agree with you, Sutapanaki. Especially when working in lower technology nodes like finfet and all, it's not correct to assume gamma of 1. I was just trying to see if I am missing anything else.

    kt/c noise of sample and hold

    Sutapanaki, I guess you are talking about the excess noise from gamma factor of the MOS that changes the integrated noise from kT/C to kT/Cm * gamma. If you assume gamma = 1, you should always see kT/C noise as the output integrated noise of any S/H circuit. It is the source of noise and the...

    kt/c noise of sample and hold

    You should be able to match the simulated noise number exactly to the kT/c value. Different sample and hold circuits will not have different noise unless you have more than one sampling operation taking place.

    Noise analysis of sample and hold amplifier

    I agree with guntherleet. You should not do acnoise on a circuit that is not time invariant. Sample and hold falls into the category of what is called Linear Periodically Time Varying (LPTV) circuits, whose steady state depends on the switching frequency. Go through the literature to get more...

    Correct measurement of process variations

    If you want to just quote the process variation, do it at a particular temperature (may be the worst case). That's it.

    LNA

    While more detail always helps to get the best of the members here, I would suggest you to go through IEEE papers. You should be able to get enough information on LNA matching as it is a well known and most common problem one would encounter.

    Post Layout simulation at different temperature

    There used to be an option (at least in Calibre) to extract the parasitic with appropriate temp coefficients. In that case, depending on the simulation temperature, the parasitic value will be calculated during netlisting and this way, a single extraction would suffice. There must a similar...

    Multi-fingers in MOSFET in Series configuration in Cadence Virtuoso Schematic

    Stacked device will not come in the technology library, neither can you configure it by changing any settings. You will have to manually stack the devices, which is like a cascode device with gate tied to the main device. This will almost behave like 2x length device for output impedance, but...

    Figure of Merit for sizing P-MOS and N-MOS in Inverter circuit

    Mostly in technologies below 28nm, pmos and nmos are of similar strength. In that case, you can go with equal sizes for both. You can determine the inverter trip point either in DC or transient sim if you are interested. Based on that you can size pmos/nmos ratio to hit a precise vdd/2 trip...

    Spectrum analysis of DC signals

    Yes, that should give a very good idea of to what accuracy you will be able to measure the temperature. The thing to ensure is that with the sinusoid input, the harmonic distortions are well below the quantization noise floor which means that your temp accuracy is only limited by the ADC SQNR.

    Layout routing using Poly

    You are right. Also, there could also be gate leakage which is very likely not modelled. This will also lead to issues if your gate are is big.

    Spectrum analysis of DC signals

    For characterizing the circuit, you can assume that the input (temp) is varying slowly (indeed the temperature will be varying). You can use very slow sinusoid to characterize, say 100Hz or so.

    Cadence Stability Analysis - Local Ground Name

    Just do the STB analysis manually. I.e break the loop manually ensuring DC operating point is not affected. Consider the loading at the location of breaking. Now check with and without bondwire the difference. Also, another cleanest solution is to not break any loop, but look at the step...

    Delay element in feed forward equalizer (FIR Equalizer)

    FFE resembles an FIR filter.. and the FFE is used in serdes transmitter output stage for partially compensating for channel loss, and in serdes receiver for equalisation.. so he is asking about FIR in context of serdes.
