It is well known that the thermal noise behavior at the terminals of any LTI RLC circuit can be predicted from knowledge of the driving-point impedance and temperature alone. This paper offers the conjecture that similar results hold if the capacitors and inductors are nonlinear. We refine the conjecture by analyzing the behavior of an RLC bridge circuit with the nonlinear inductor and capacito...

Abstract As the switching speeds and densities of Digital CMOS integrated circuits continue to increase, output switching noise becomes more of a problem. This paper reports a novel design technique which aids in the reduction of switching noise. The output driver stage is analyzed through the use of an equivalent RLC circuit. The results of the analysis are used in the design of an output driv...

The history of Tow–Thomas second-order filter is reviewed. Two alternative generation methods of the Tow–Thomas filter are discussed. The first is a generation method from the second-order passive RLC filter and the second is from the multiple feedbacks inverting low-pass filter using a single op amp. Several forms of the circuit are briefly reviewed. Passive and active compensation methods to ...

Closed form solutions for the 50% delay, rise time, overshoot characteristics, and settling time of signals in an RLC tree are presented. These solutions have the same accuracy characteristics as the Elmore delay for RC trees and preserves the simplicity and recursive characteristics of the Elmore delay. The solutions introduced here cover all damping conditions of an RLC circuit including the ...

In this paper, the operation of S-G pair TSV,coaxial TSV, tapered S-G pair TSV and tapered coaxial TSV are analyzed where the TSV resistance, inductance, and capacitance need to be modeled to find out their impact on the performance of a 3-D circuit. The RLC parameters of the TSV are modeled as a function of physical factor and material characteristics. The performance of the analytically model...

This paper presents a novel elliptic shape defected ground structure (DGS) for low pass filter (LPF) applications. An equivalent RLC circuit model is presented and its corresponding parameters are also extracted from the measured S-parameters. The filter presents the advantages of compact size, high selectivity; low insertion loss and high out-band suppression from 5.15 GHz to 10 GHz below −31 ...

This paper reports on a design technique for broadband high frequency wire antennas. The antennas are loaded with RLC circuit elements to achieve broad impedance bandwidth (for a desired VSWR) and possible high gain, through modifying the current distribution. These loads can be parallel RLC circuits optimized via Genetic Algorithm (GA) for maximum bandwidth. The GA iterative1y guides a populat...
