Standard Amplifier Design to implement in a Cadence Schematic tool

[BB11]

Hi

I am new to analog IC design and I am trying to understand the characteristics of class A, AB, C amplifiers and a dc-dc converters.
Is there a standard design for the amplifier and dc-dc converter where I can implement in a cadence schematic tool and run the analysis?

Thanks in advance
BB

"Implementing" a DC-DC converter at transistor level is
going to be a lot of work, from scratch. Running the
analyses will chew a lot of time because you have a
combination of low frequency outer loop and high
frequency internal clocking. Besides this, very few
PWM or DC-DC schematics can be found, for the
commercial parts (although I can suggest certain old
Motorola databooks have some with startling degrees
of forthrightness and completeness - try the 1990
linear copy). You still have the problem of transistor
models and figuring out the sizing (they show resistor
values, but nothing for bipolar sizes).

Class A, B, AB amplifiers are not hard to find examples
for, but again you need to pick up some interesting
device models to build them. They are simple and can
be found in textbooks. Class C, I suppose, as well but
this is more of an impulse, tuned-load thing as I recall.
