Frequency-Independent Equivalent-Circuit Model for On-Chip Spiral Inductors
نویسندگان
چکیده
A wide-band physical and scalable 2equivalent circuit model for on-chip spiral inductors is developed. Based on physical derivation and circuit theory, closed-form formulas are generated to calculate the RLC circuit elements directly from the inductor layout. The 2model accurately captures ( ) and ( ) characteristics beyond the self-resonant frequency. Using frequency-independent RLC elements, this new model is fully compatible with both ac and transient analysis. Verification with measurement data from a SiGe process demonstrates accurate performance prediction and excellent scalability for a wide range of inductor configurations.

Design Optimization Methodology of On-Chip Spiral Inductor
This paper proposes an optimization methodology of on-chip spiral inductors. Characteristics of spiral inductors heavily depend on layout structures. We then formulate the characteristics with structural parameters and frequency as variables using a response surface method. The proposed method uses S-parameters to express inductor characteristics, and hence our method is independent of spiral g...
