摘要: A device includes a capacitive element that is coupled between first and second nodes and that includes a first well region, a second well region, and a transistor. The second well region is formed in the first well region, has a different conductivity type than the first well region, and is coupled to the second node. The transistor includes source and drain regions formed in the second well region and coupled to each other and to the second node, a channel region between the source and drain regions, and a gate region over the channel region. The first well region and the gate region are coupled to each other and to the first node, whereby a capacitance of the capacitive element is increased without substantially enlarging a physical size of the capacitive element.

摘要: Systems and methods are provided for hopping a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) among a plurality of channels, wherein a gain of the DCO KDCO is a nonlinear function of frequency. A first normalized tuning word (NTW) corresponding to a first channel of the plurality of channels is generated. A first normalizing gain multiplier X is generated based on the nonlinear function of frequency, on an estimate of the nonlinear function of frequency, at a first frequency corresponding to the first channel. The first NTW is multiplied by the first X to obtain a first oscillator tuning word (OTW). The first OTW is input to the DCO to cause the DCO to hop to the first channel. A system for hopping among a plurality of channels at a plurality of respective frequencies comprises a phase-locked loop (PLL), a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO), a multiplexer, and an arithmetic module.

摘要: A device includes a level shifter and a voltage multiplier. The level shifter is responsive to a first clock signal configured to shift the first clock signal to a second clock signal at a higher level than the first clock signal based on a node voltage. The voltage multiplier is responsive to the second clock signal for generating the node voltage. The node voltage is output from the voltage multiplier for driving a load and is further fed back to the level shifter for generating the second clock signal.

摘要: Among other things, one or more techniques and systems for generating a common design rule check (DRC) rule set for verification of a design layout and for generating a common dummy insertion utility for design layout processing are provided. That is, the common DRC rule set comprises a set of design rules having design rule constraint values corresponding to a restriction threshold, such as a most restrictive value. The common dummy insertion utility is used to insert dummy polygons into a design layout according to a dummy size constraint and a dummy spacing constraint. The design layout is verified as compliant with the common DRC rule set. Once verified, the design layout can be converted from a universal design layout format to a target metal scheme to create a transformed design layout. In this way, design layouts, formatted according to the universal design layout, can be transformed to other formats.
