A general characteristic for the transistors of a given length i n each process is obtained. Therefore\, it gives a global view and orienta tion about the design space. This makes it very suitable for helping the d esigner to gain insight on how to tune the design and\, particularly\, aid ing novel designers to quickly find their way in the analog design art. Th e same applies to the\, somehow “dual”\, inversion coefficient (IC) ba sed methods. Both methods are based on magnitudes (gm/ID and IC) that are ratios (or proportional to ratios) of key magnitudes of the transistor ope ration.\n\nExtensions and evolutions of the gm/ID method have\, implicitly or explicitly\, identified this “ratio-based characteristic” and have shown the advantages of considering other key ratios of magnitudes that s hare the same characteristics as gm/ID of be W independent. The approach p resented is particularly appropriate for nanoscale devices where multiple unitary devices in parallel are usually applied.\n\nThis short course will provide an overview of these ratio-based analog design approaches\, contr ibuting to showing a general vision about them. These methods originally t argeted small signal analog design. Examples of extension of the basic ide a to nonlinear RF blocks (power amplifiers and envelope detectors) as well as to distortion analysis will be shown.\n\nSpeaker(s): Prof. Fernando Si lveira\n\nRoom: T312\, Bldg: T\, 46 Avenue Félix Viallet\, Grenoble\, Rho oe-Alpes\, France\, 38000\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/4837 25 LOCATION:Room: T312\, Bldg: T\, 46 Avenue Félix Viallet\, Grenoble\, Rhooe -Alpes\, France\, 38000\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/483725 ORGANIZER:ieee-student-branch@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr SEQUENCE:6 SUMMARY:A short course on gm/ID design methodologies - Part II URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/483725 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0i n\; text-align: justify\; text-indent: .5in\; line-height: normal\; mso-la yout-grid-align: none\; text-autospace: none\;"><span style="font-size: 12 .0pt\; mso-fareast-font-family: NimbusRomNo9L-Medi\; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri\; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin\;">Design methods for analog i ntegrated circuits based on gm/ID have the key feature of being based on a magnitude (the gm/ID ratio) that provides information about the transisto r operation independently of its width (W\, letting aside very narrow tran sistors rarely applied in analog design) and length (L)\, except for a sli ght dependence on L in short channel devices.
