    How to generate a clock signal with random noise in Cadence Spectre?

    Thank you Klaus, I think NCO definitely will do that. My intention is not to design such a clock source. I just need some clock with configurable random noise for simulation of some circuit which requires such a clock source. That's why I wanted to keep it simple. The vsource in "prbs" type...

    How to generate a clock signal with random noise in Cadence Spectre?

    I am trying to generate a clock signal with random noise, but not using complicated VCO models in Cadence Spectre. One possible way I think is to use the vsource in analogLib with "prbs" type, and specify the bit file with "...0101..." pattern. So that, I can put the noise for the pattern as...

    minimum current in a circuit

    If there is something to add, I think the noise requirement of your design should also be a constaint.

    Architecture for 1.2V 50MHz GB op amp

    ashil_na, I think the 50MHz 3db bandwith is a spec when the opamp is in closed loop configration. Otherwise, things would be really hard just as jimito13 suggested, even in 65nm process. If so, many structures of opamp could be your candidates. As the opamp is for a buffer, a two stage...

    [Help]How determine the width of the wire for sampling path

    Hi, erikl. Thank you for your reply. Maybe I didn't describe my question clearly. I know that the estimate current is about 0.37mA. And I calculated the current as follows. Vc=Vin*(1/sCs)/(Rs+1/sCs)=Vin/(sRsCs+1)=0.3sin(2*pi*50)t (assume sRsCs-->0) and then use Ic=Cs*(dVc/dt) to get the...

    [Help]How determine the width of the wire for sampling path

    Hello, everyone! It is a samping path of a SH circuit as shown in the image, and the paramater is annoated on the scheme. 50MHz is the maximum frequency of the input singal. What I want to know is how to decide the width of the wire when layout this circuit. Is it something just based on...

    What affect the power dissipation based on layout level?

    For low power. I don't think there is big stuff we can do at layout level. To minish the parasitic cap may give some improvment, but it's still trivial. So I think sechmatic should be modified if low power is taken into account. For arranging the components. I think avoiding the crosstalk...

    [help]Design issues on two stage foled cascode OTA

    Hi DenisMark, Sorry for the late reply! I read the material you give me these two days and tried to simulate my opamp fully followed the automation testbench given by the application note, but I haven't got it yet because of my poor skill in writing script. And I will try it later, some...

    [help]Design issues on two stage foled cascode OTA

    Hi DenisMark, Here is the Bode plot of the AC simulation. Fig 1 [url=http://obrazki.elektroda.pl/100_1260887033.jpg][/ And the testbench circuit is similar to Fig 2. Fig 2 [url=http://obrazki.elektroda.pl/61_1260887720.jpg][/ As you can see, there is a terrace of the gain curve. I think it's...

    [help]Design issues on two stage foled cascode OTA

    Thanks DenisMark! Yes it's fully differential amplifier, and the other 2 compensation you mentioned is at the right side of Fig 6 and is also omitted for simplify. I'm sorry for forgetting mentioning it in the post. So there are 4 compensate cap in the amplifier and each is 2.5pF. the settling...

    [help]Design issues on two stage foled cascode OTA

    I want to design an OTA for SH circuit in Pipelined ADC and some of the important specicications are, Vdd=1.2V VCMI=VCMO=0.5V Adc>96dB GBW>400MHz SR>300V/us CL=Cc=5pF(for low-noise) The two stage folded-cascode gain-boosting OTA with hybrid cascode compensation is chosen to meet the spec(the...
