How can I control STI and WPE switches? I have not done that before?

Yes, It is a good idea. I had to run simulations with/without the floorplan parasitic effect and see what happens. It is not a logical method but I had to optimize the floorplan to find...
Dear experts,
I have designed a simple design working as a level-shifter and buffer at 1GHz in GF22nm technology. Then, my colleague and I designed two roughly similar layouts for my design, however, we see completely different post-layout results. We carefully connected the back-gates, DEEP...
Thanks for this recommendation. My knowledge in terms of transmission line is low, so, my answer may not be correct. However, I am looking for a design that should be fully integrated into my 22nm layout. We will think about the transmission line option if we do not find any other solution.
Dear experts,
I am trying to design a buffer after an up-conversion Mixer that can drive 50 ohm load for measurement. This buffer is supposed to be used for Mixer output measurement. However, we know that there is a huge load capacitance imposed by off-chip probes and wiring. This unwanted...
Dear all,
I plan to simulate THD and extract IIP3 of a single transistor by using PSS and PSS+PAC analysis in cadence. I have used the testbench attached below to run simulations. Two bias tees are added to the input and output of the transistor and I have added a resistor of 50 ohm to the gate...
Hi Sutapanaki,
Thank you for your answer. Based on what you said, I have to look at the output characteristic of my design and find the settling time of my design. Am I right? Is it the time required for DAC to jump from one level to the next level (one LSB difference between two consequent...
Hi All,
I have designed a 4 bit DAC for biasing a neuron. I have some questions regarding the performance of my DAC.
The post-layout simulations show INL and DNL lower than 0.16LSB. First, do they depend on the sampling rate or speed of the DAC? Second, what is the definition of the sampling...
Dear all,
I have designed a DAC the switching speed of which is around 1-2 GHz. I know that adding several analog test point (ATP) circuits for measuring the analog signals in low frequencies is inevitable. I have added a simple ATP structure reported in the following paper, however, this...
Hi All,
I have designed an analog circuit in sub-threshold the frequency of which is tunned from kHz to a few MHz range. For measurement purposes, I know that a buffer with a small output impedance is needed for each voltage node and this buffer should be added to the layout before fabrication...
Hi Dominik,
Thank you for your reply. The problem was solved by using HVTNFETTW.
Cheers

Thank you again,
I followed your solution but I changed a bit the structure of extra circuit in my schematic. The problem is solved now. In addition, Dominik suggested a more straightforward...
Dear Dick,
Thank you for your answer. However, the voltage over DNWEL should be greater than the Vdd of the circuit. For this reason, I should have access to this layer and connect it to an external voltage. In this case, a new pin is needed in both the layout and schematic because of LVS...
Dear All,
I have designed a circuit in 22nm FDSOI technology which can offer
frequency modulation if a bias is applied on the back-gate of a NMOS
(HVTNFET model). In this layout, consequently, I should use deep NWELL
to separate global substrate and local substrate of that particular
transistor...
Hi,
I am trying to call or include some files into a specific verilog-A code. Each file encompasses a set of instructions. I used 'include (filename.include) in my code but this code cannot be compiled in AWR simulator. Could you please tell me how a file (verilog-A code) cqn be included in...
