    Enable signal for clock gating technique...

    It depends on if rst signal is synchronized or not. At the time rst is released (DFF become not reset) you do not hope clock toggle the flip flop at that time because it may induce race. So generally you should add constraint between clock and rst. Or rst can be synchronized before sent to clock...

    cadence file input format

    Re: how to understand def format, cadence LEF contains the information of "pin", such as metal layer and location. DEF just represent the connection of pins on those LEFs. So extaction with DEF and LEF can get the connection informaion of all "black box" (LEF). This connection information is...

    ESD diodes - vdd , vss and pads connection, precautions

    Re: ESD - diodes If the pdiode is made with p+/nwell and the ndiode is made with n+/psub there are indeed two reasons for choosing pdiode. 1. If n+/psub is used it need salicide block layer (SBLK or SAB) to add ballasting resistance. Otherwise current filamentation will happen under ESD. But...

    Can a chip I/O input be damaged by tying Vcc or GND directly to it ?

    Re: Damaging IO input It depends on the relationship of this IO pin with that VCC/GND. If VCC/GND is the power/ground this IO uses then it will be no problem. Otherwise issue of damage may happen.

    What's happening when we do shielding in layout?

    Re: shielding in layout shielding wires are "obsorbing" the magnetic field induced by the clock signal. So, the signal on input pairs is protected.

    What are the required GRE and TOEFL scores for studying in the US?

    Re: Ideal Gre scores I donot think a good GRE score is a must. But you should have good understanding ability.

    The power down mode in mixed signal circuit

    Re: the power down mode The fundmental idea of power down is to attain zero power consumption. So in digital domain we use a power down signal to make logic element stay in logic high or low ( current is zero at this time). In analog domain tie PMOS bias or NMOS bias node to power or ground can...

    How to design a low supply voltage bandgap that works under the 1.5V supply voltage?

    Re: bandgap First build a standard 1.2v output BGR then generate current through a resistor. Mirror this current through another resistor then you will get 1.5v BGR. Remember to match these two resistors.
