Numerical stability analysis of oscillating integrated circuits

Tolerance Analysis in MOSFET Analog Integrated Circuits

The goal of the design and optimization phase in analog integrated circuits conception is to get the structure yielding the best system performance. The parameters of various components (resistance, capacitance, transistors, etc) of the circuit are set to the optimized nominal values, but no guarantee exists that these values will be conserved during the fabrication process. As a matter of fact...

Distortion Analysis in Analog Integrated Circuits

This paper reviews different techniques used in the literature to analyze distortion in analog integrated circuits. It concentrates on analytical techniques rather than on numerical techniques. Techniques such as Volterra series, harmonic injection method, and modeling of circuit non-linearities, are discussed with emphasis on the last two techniques. The theory behind each technique is explain...

Numerical integration of highly–oscillating functions

By a highly–oscillating function we mean one with large number of local maxima and minima over some interval. The computation of integrals of highly–oscillating functions is one of the most important issues in numerical analysis since such integrals abound in applications in many branches of mathematics as well as in other sciences, e.g., quantum physics, fluid mechanics, electromagnetics, etc....
