ParagonX flow

IC layout parasitics dominate the performance of custom digital, analog and mixed-signal designs, so the challenge becomes how to identify the root causes and to quantify the effects of parasitics during early design stages. The old method of iterating between layout, extraction, SPICE simulation, followed by manual debug… Read More

Gate Resistance in IC design flow

Gate Resistance in IC design flow
by Maxim Ershov on 05-03-2023 at 6:00 am

Figure1 9

MOSFET gate resistance is a very important parameter, determining many characteristics of MOSFETs and CMOS circuits, such as:

• Switching speed
• RC delay
• Fmax – maximum frequency of oscillations
• Gate (thermal) noise
• Series resistance and quality factor in MOS capacitors and varactors
• Switching speed and uniformity… Read More
