Modeling 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 کاملModeling of Substrate Noise Impact on a Single-Ended Cascode LNA in a Lightly Doped Substrate (RESEARCH NOTE)
Substrate noise generated by digital circuits on mixed-signal ICs can disturb the sensitiveanalog/RF circuits, such as Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), sharing the same substrate. This paperinvestigates the adverse impact of the substrate noise on a high frequency cascode LNA laid out on alightly doped substrate. By studying the major noise coupling mechanisms, a new and efficientmodeling method is p...
متن کاملSwitching Noise and Timing Characteristics in Nanoscale Integrated Circuits
Continuous progress in the design and manufacturing of integrated circuits (ICs) has enabled the integration of more than two billion transistors on the same die with clock frequencies well above several gigahertz. These improvements have triggered the era of system-on-chip (SoC) and system-in-package (SiP), drastically changing the classical understanding of noise in complex ICs. Traditionally...
