Differential Circuits Follow-Up

By Matt Miller | Published: July 7, 2009
Introduction You’ll notice that this post has Matt Miller listed as the author. Poojan requested Matt’s comments on his differential circuit post. Poojan was impressed with my comments enough that he decided to make it a follow-up post. So, this post is co-written by both Poojan and Matt.

Supply voltage, current, RF impedance, and CMOS scaling

By Poojan Wagh | Published: November 11, 2008
Consider the circuit below: Let’s say that you’ve designed the circuit with a supply voltage (VDD) of 2.4 V. It’s performing very well. You meet exactly the specified linearity and noise requirements, and are within the desired current limits. The power dissipated across the PMOS and NMOS devices which dictate SNR are: PMOS: IDP×VDSATP = 10 mA×0.6 [...]
