The Path to First Time Right Analog Circuits
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss state of the art and new developments for the path to first time right silicon for analog circuits. This article touches on a few of the issues that are important, when selecting a foundry partner for the next design. However the bottom line is that the existence of a comprehensive PDK with accurate process models and QA controlled CAD technology data is key to getting first time right silicon. The best process and the requirements for SPICE modeling for analog circuits are particularize.

متن کاملModeling and Simulation of Substrate Noise in Mixed-Signal Circuits Applied to a Special VCO
The mixed-signal circuits with both analog and digital blocks on a single chip have wide applications in communication and RF circuits. Integrating these two blocks can cause serious problems especially in applications requiring fast digital circuits and high performance analog blocks. Fast switching in digital blocks generates a noise which can be introduced to analog circuits by the common su...

متن کاملThe impact of signal transition time on path delay computation - Circuits and Systems II: Analog and Digital Signal Processing, IEEE Transactions on
It has been recognized for some time that nonzero signal rise and fall times contribute to gate propagation delays. Practically, however, most timing analysis tools ignore these contributions when computing path delays and identifying critical paths in combinational circuits. In this paper we describe how these rise and fall times can be incorporated into path analysis algorithms. Interestingly...
