    摘要: Among other things, one or more techniques for creating an array model for analog device modeling are provided. In an embodiment, the array model represents a mean value or a standard deviation value of an analog device characteristic for an analog device based on a physical location of the analog device within a circuit layout, where the physical location is identified using a physical set of coordinates. The physical set of coordinates maps to an array set of coordinates of the array model. In this manner, a mean value and a standard deviation value are obtainable from the array model using the array set of coordinates. The mean value and the standard deviation value are usable to model the analog device, and thus a circuit within which the analog device is used, to obtain a more accurate or realistic prediction of operation or behavior, for example.

    摘要: A time to current conversion apparatus and methods. An impedance having an input for selectively receiving a time varying periodic signal or a known voltage signal is provided; and a current output is coupled to the impedance. By observing the average current through the impedance for the known voltage signal over a time period, and by observing the average current through the impedance for a time varying periodic signal, the duty cycle of the time varying periodic signal may be determined by evaluating a ratio of a first average current observed at the current output while the time varying periodic signal is coupled to the impedance to a second average current observed at the current output while the known voltage signal is coupled to the impedance. An embodiment time to current converter circuit is disclosed. Method embodiments for determining the duty cycle of a time varying periodic signal are provided.

    摘要: Some embodiments relate a capacitor array arranged on a semiconductor substrate. The capacitor array includes an array of unit capacitors arranged in a series of rows and columns. An interconnect structure couples unit capacitors of the array to establish a plurality of capacitor elements. The respective capacitor elements have different numbers of unit capacitors and different corresponding capacitances. In establishing the plurality of capacitor elements, the interconnect structure couples unit capacitors of the array in substantially identical sub-arrays tiled over the semiconductor substrate. Other methods and devices are also disclosed.
