    how do I calculate the channel-length modulation from proces

    how to calculate channel-length modulation Dear All, I have seen some posts regarding this issue. But no one tells how to "Calculate" the lambda from process parameters. I know how to measure Lambda by doing simulation. But I want to know how to calculate it too. My justifcation to...

    Who is your idole in Analog Design?

    Definitely P.R.Gray! Added after 30 minutes: I also want to know more about R.J. Wildar. I searched online but couldn't find his biography. Anyone has it and wants to share? Thanks!

    Laplase and Z transformation

    transformation laplace vers z what kind of paper you are looking for? these two transformation are taught in undergraduage course and should be very easily to be found in textbooks. Z transform is for discrete signal and Laplace transform is for continous signal. If continous system is...

    manually connect Standard Cells

    Hello, I am using VSdir standcell to build a programmable divider for frequency synthesizer. The VCO clock is around 1GHz. I constructed the schematic using symbols from the library. Now I need to layout the design (by which I mean connecting the standard cells as the cells are already...

    dft of sigma delta modulator (cadence analog environment)

    Re: dft of sigma delta modulator (cadence analog environment For sigma delta modulator, the output is a bit stream containing the quantization noise and the signals ( DC or sinewave ). PSD Estimation is the right way to reveal the information. Assume your sample frequency is 10M, your run...

    PNoise analysis port instance problem

    Be careful about the SSB (single side band) and DSB (double side band). There are exactly 3dB apart. Verify which one you are calculating.

    TSMC 0.18um process flow description

    ibm cmos 7rf process Dear All, I am doing TSMC 0.18um layout. I think it would be nice if I can have the detailed description of the process flow, so I can visualize it when I am drawing. What I can find is a very brief description of the process flow with a lot of abbreviations, it is...

    Prescaler output: Dute cycle not 50%:50%

    I think the duty cycle is decided by your architectures, not by the logic styles. For example, if the pre-scale is divider by 4, it will be 50% duty clycle, if it is divided by 5, it will have 40% duty cycle. Anyway,why do you need 50% duty cycle? Most of time It is the edge we care.

    What is "kick back noise"?

    comparator kickback noise I am really interested in knowing how the "kick back noise" is generated. I designed a comparator with this problem, I have been trying to elminate the kickback noise, but I found it is difficult to just modify the comparator without changing the driving condition...

    Help me with nodal analysis equations

    Re: Nodal Analysis You can delete the upper part of the circuit, it won't affect the solution for V. V = (R5||R3) (I3-I2) = 50 * 2 = 100 v

    How to simulate noise in bandgap voltage reference?

    PSRR is only one of measurements you can do by using thhe method jiangwp described. The reason spectre asks for a input noise is so that it can calculate input-referred noise from any points in circuit to the input. If you don't care the input-referred noise, you can put a 0v DC voltage source...

    Help me with nodal analysis equations

    Re: Nodal Analysis The second equation is wrong, it should be: V2/100 + (V2 - V3)/50 + (V2 - V1)/40 =0. Be careful about current direction.

    question about metal filling

    Hello All, After we finish the layout, metal filling is used to meet the density requirement. Do we tie the metal filling to ground or let it floating ? which one is better? Thanks!
