    [Cadence ADE XL] Optimize a Common Source Amplifier to 15dB gain via Corner Analysis

    after literally a week's of trial and error and playing around with 241 iterations. ... I reduced the 6kOhms to 1 kOhms it worked... I didn't played with W. It is scary to see my stuff fail and readjusting the bias points over and over again.

    [Cadence ADE XL] Optimize a Common Source Amplifier to 15dB gain via Corner Analysis

    I just realized I can't edit post here. Supervisor asked me to 10dB AC gain instead. He claims it is possible. I just need to analyze all the possible combinations... Using this circuit. Got I feeling I might being trolled here...

    [Cadence ADE XL] Optimize a Common Source Amplifier to 15dB gain via Corner Analysis

    Thank you for your reply. I try to see how the device works before coming back for you later. how does one learn CMOS Transistor Level Circuits for its operations. It seems very difficult as my university didn't really expose much indepth towards the operating principle of such devices.

    [Cadence ADE XL] Optimize a Common Source Amplifier to 15dB gain via Corner Analysis

    Yes. I'm looking for 15dB AC Gain to allow AC Small Signal through. Hence I need to bias it at which Vindc should correspond to 0.5 VDD to allow maximum swing. Are you proposing that I replace my R_D Load Resistor with a diode connected load, which acts as a current source...

    [Cadence ADE XL] Optimize a Common Source Amplifier to 15dB gain via Corner Analysis

    Well, the simplified form is just Av = - g_m * R_D ... ? I was recommended to read Design of Analog CMOS Integrated Circuits: Behzad Razavi... but I think my background is too weak to understand most of the concepts mentions. From what I realized from the Result Browser... The g_m is...

    [Cadence ADE XL] Optimize a Common Source Amplifier to 15dB gain via Corner Analysis

    Hi there I'm a student intern, very new to ADE XL, with basic knowledge of Analog IC in Common Source Amplifier Characteristics. I am seeking some help in some guide in using the Corner Analysis / Optimization tools in ADE XL. Firstly, I need to optimize a Common Source Amplifier circuit as...
