when we say "flicker corner freq of a vco output phase noise", does it refer to the slope of 1/f^3 or the boundary between 1/f^3 and 1/f^2 (cutoff corner freq, i think). It does cause me confusion.
wiki: corner freq = cutoff freq
when the simulated pnoise (spectreRF) freq waveform labels the...
I have done the matlab sdomain analysis and set the PLL bandwidth accordingly.
how could I verify the PLL loop bandwidth in the schematic simulation?
Could i obtain H(s)=out/in, transfer function of the PLL to check PLL loop bandwidth & overshoot (OS)?
I would like to know whether the extracted Cdg including Cgdovl and extracted Csg including Cgsovl or not?
I am using spectre to extract those capacitance by using OP command. model is bsim3v3
Hi,
I have seen two types of NMOS LC tank circuit. One with top tail (current source) and the other type, the current source (tail) at the bottom.
what are the advantages and disadvantages between them?
any related papers discuss this?
here is the HSPICE netlist from Michael Perrott diffamp (part of it)
Vsup vdd 0 vsupply
Vgnd gnd 0 0
Ibias vdd vd ibias ac 1u

I found that Michael Perrott has a matlab script to calculate CML diff amp design from https://www.cppsim.com/download_hspice_tools.html
However the script needs input from HSPICE simulation information like current density etc..
Could I use it in Spectre Cadence?
Basically, i am not sure...
I am using cadence 514 version i think.
there is a parametric analysis function, but i could not sweep corners like ss, typical ff.
how could I make it beside ocean script?
Re: What is the justification to use RFCMOS vs normal digita
what do u mean by "close-coupled layout and schematic based sims"
Does it mean postlayout run? I did.
