Abstract

This paper presents an overview of design methodology both in the analog CMOS and in the mixed signal LSI. The important design considerations in analog CMOS are first discussed. Not only taking the conventional methodology into account but also taking care of the process fluctuation including V_T mismatch or 1/f noise lead to robust and high quality analog CMOS circuits. For the rapid-growing high frequency applications, parasitic effects such as cross-coupled capacitance and substrate power loss are becoming serious issues. Thus it is demonstrated that pre- and post-layout simulations are vital to achieve target characteristics. The mixed-mode simulation using SPICE, Verilog-D, and Verilog-A, which can concurrently handle analog and digital circuits, is shown to be essential to the overall mixed signal system design. The substrate noise or EMI need to be analyzed effectively nuder such environment as well. Finally accurate device parameter extraction, its careful reflection to above circuit designs, and fine parameter control in manufacturing for the active and passive devices are described.
