چکیده
This paper presents a new method for hierarchical characterization of analog integrated circuits. For each circuit class, a fundamental set of performances is defined and extracted topology-independently. A circuit being characterized is decomposed in general subcircuits. Sizing rules of these topology-independent subcircuits are included into the characterization by functional constraints. In this way, bad circuit sizing is detected and located.

متن کاملIntegrated Biosensor and Interfacing Circuits
Driven by the demand of the bioelectronics market, many biosensors need to work in parallel or in a controllable way to achieve complicated biodetections, however the limited scale, speed, cost, complex signal processing, and bulky circuit routing problems prohibit the discrete biosensor solutions (Drummond et al., 2003). Nowaday biosensor are usually integrated on the same substrate to form bi...
متن کاملA Review and Evolution of Current Mode Circuits and Realization of CDTA using CMOS
This paper presents a brief introduction of some prominent current mode circuits which have been finding its attention in the area of analog signal processing. High performance current differencing transconductance amplifier (CDTA) has been realized using CMOS, provides a wider bandwidth, low power consumption and requires less space in integrated circuits implementation. Pspice simulation resu...
متن کاملOASYS: a framework for analog circuit synthesis
We describe a hierarchical structure for a knowledge-based analog circuit synthesis tool. Analog circuit topologies are represented as a hierarchy of abstract functional blocks each with associated design knowledge. We also describe mechanisms to select from among alternate design styles, and to translate performance specifications from one level in the hierarchy to the next lower level. A prot...
متن کاملAnalysis of localized high-frequency substrate noise
In mixed-signal designs, substrate coupling of digital circuit noise can severely compromise the behavior of sensitive analog circuits. Proper characterization of substrate noise is therefore indispensable. In this paper, we present an experimental setup for the characterization of directly coupled substrate noise in bulk-type CMOS. We have integrated configurable substrate noise generation and...
