Current mirrors are found in almost every analog IC circuit to provide bias currents, current steering, and active loads. They are designed to copy (or mirror) the current flowing through a reference branch to one or more mirrored branches. Current mirrors are so widely used they are possibly the single most important building blocks of analog IC circuits, and often the first part of a circuit to be designed and laid…

With over 30 years of experience in the semiconductor industry, Cadence and Arm Are Building the Future of Infrastructure. Take a look at our recent Designed with Cadence post to learn how Arm and Cadence are working together on technologies, such as Cadence Cerebrus Intelligent Chip Explorer’s machine learning-driven, automated approach to chip design optimization, which enable them to perform simulation and validation…

In this Knowledge Booster blog, let us talk about the simulation of the circuits based on switched capacitors and capacitance-to-voltage (C2V) converters using various analyses available under the Shooting Newton method using the Spectre RF Option. The videos described in this blog are a part of the course: Spectre RF Analysis Using Shooting Newton Method.

We characterize the videos in this blog in two parts:

1. Switched…
