摘要:
A method is described that involves identifying a subset of operational scenarios for a circuit being designed. The family of equations are solved for the circuit over the subset and the solving produces numeric values for design parameters of the circuit. The family of equations enhanced with said numeric values are solved over a remainder of the scenarios and none of the remaining scenarios are identified as being infeasible scenarios. A design for the circuit that includes the numeric values is produced.

A method is described that involves solving a family of equations for a circuit being designed over a subset of operational scenarios, thereby producing numeric values for design parameters of the circuit. The family of equations is enhanced with the numeric values are solved over a second subset of the operational scenarios. A design for the circuit that includes the numeric values is produced.

A method for the design and optimization of inductors for RF circuits. This method consists in the formulation of RF circuit designs as geometric programs. The designer can specify a wide variety of specifications such as gain, bandwidth, noise, etc. The method, which was implemented in simple code, determines inductor dimensions and component values in a few seconds real-time. The results was also a globally optimal design.

A method is described that involves accepting a description of an electronic system having feedback. The method further includes expressing a real root of the electronic system's transfer function and expressing a real part of a complex root of the electronic system's transfer function. The method further includes expressing a time parameter as a maximum of the real root and the real part of a complex root. The method further involves expressing a settling time of the electronic system with the time parameter and using the settling time to automatically generate a design for the electronic system.

Methods are described that involve characterizing an oscillator's jitter or phase noise over a plurality of the oscillator's effective number of delay stages. The oscillator comprises a series of delay stages. Each one of the effective number of delay stages, if selected for the oscillator, describes a respective permissible range of inverter drive strengths that may be used within each delay stage of the oscillator to achieve a respective jitter or phase noise characteristic.

An oscillator delay stage is described. The oscillator delay stage includes at least one differential input; a pair of single ended inverters for each differential input; and, a differential output. With respect to the pair of single ended inverters for each differential input, each pair of single ended inverters further include for their corresponding differential input: i) a first single ended inverter whose input is coupled to a + input of the corresponding differential input; and, ii) a second single ended inverter whose input is coupled to a − input of the corresponding differential input. With respect to the differential output, the differential input further includes: i) a + output that is coupled to each said second single ended inverter output; ii) a − output that is coupled to each said first single ended inverter output.
