    Design review: Fully differential telescopic Operational amplifier.

    Hello, I used Behzad Razavi's book to design a fully differential telescopic op-amp [screenshot attached]. Then I follow the same steps to design my proposed opamp, but I am not getting the desired result. Can someone point out where I'm doing mistakes? For your reference, I have attached hand...

    2nd order Butterworth High Pass filter

    Hello, Could anyone review my 2nd order Butterworth HPF design? I have mentioned design details along with schematics and initial results. Design specifications for 2nd HPF: Cutoff frequency= 100Mhz, Design method: by considering equal component, Input signal= 10V,120MHz, sinusoidal. Design...

    Hysteresis width of ST , power, frequency.

    Hello. I would like a better understanding regarding Schmitt-trigger. What I know is: the wider the hysteresis width is, the more it provides noise immunity. But I am curious about the relationship between incoming signal frequency and the hysteresis width? And also the relationship of power...

    Inverting a modulated signal (OOK).

    Hello, I'm modulating the message signal with OOK (on-off keying) modulation. Multisim software is used to model the schematic [attached]. At the resistor R1, the modulated signal is obtained. I wanted to invert the modulated single, for that I used a simple NOT gate (U3), however at the NOT's...

    Differerntial demodulation using single-stage opamp and LPF.

    Hello, I am designing a differential isolator via a capacitive coupling technique in which a control signal is differentially modulated and coupled capacitively to the differential demodulator side. I have designed a demodulator using single-stage Opamp and LPF [Schematics attached]. The problem...

    Demodulating differential signal.

    Hello, I am demodulating differential signal using LPF based demodulator. The schematic of the entire system is attached which includes diff modulator, coupling capacitors, and demodulator. A modulated signal of 17 Mhz is demodulated. For the demodulator, I designed a 2-stage differential...

    PVT independent ST based multi-vibrator design.

    I am doing PVT analysis of an RC-based multi-vibrator. Simulations under varying temperature (0-100 C) and process corners (FF, FS, SF, SS) show signal delay in the modulated signals. This delay is due to the effect of temp and process on R1, C1, and MOSFET's threshold voltage. -I used PVT...

    FM demodulation of differential signal.

    Hello everyone, I am designing LPF based differential demodulator(LPF_DDM) to retrieve differentially modulated signals, which are on-chip capacitive isolated [shown]. LPF_DDM includes a differential amplifier, LPF, and Schmitt trigger. I designed a two-stage opamp [specification below], as a...

    Schmitt trigger based NAND gate

    Hello everyone, If someone can help me to understand how to calculate the hysteresis of the Schmitt trigger-based NAND gate? Which MOSFET's dimension decides the Vth_H and Vth_L? Thanks.

    Process Corner Variation in analog circuit design.

    Hello, I have designed an LPF demodulator. In a normal situation it's working fine, however when i carried out the Process corner simulation, the threshold voltage of MOSFET changes which is obvious, due to which MOSFET's operation region changes, ultimately change the output. My question is ...

    Design problem in CMOS differential Amp

    Hello, It's my first attempt to design CMOS Differential amplifier in 0.35um technology using a cadence tool. I search threads related to my problem in this forum but could not able to solve my problem. So I will explain my approach in deriving dimensions of MOSFET's used in it. Moreover, I have...

    Understanding two Multivibrator models

    Hello , I simulated the two multivibrator models in CMOS technology using the cadence tool. I was expecting the model 2 with Schmitt trigger(ST) will show robustness in PVT (Process Voltage temperature) analysis as compared to model 1 due to ST. But this was not the case both the Models shows...

    Problem in Process corner simulation using Cadence ADXL tool.

    Hello, My question is related to CADENCE software simulation. I am doing a process corner simulation of a simple inverter using ADXL in CADENCE. But the problems are: 1_ When I run only the nominal corner it simulates successfully as shown in the figure. 2-But when I add worse power /worse...

    Designing differential Signal modulator.

    Link of a patent for your reference: https://patents.google.com/patent/US20080218258 Yes, you are right, Control and inverted control signal modulate the oscillator. Thanks for the correction. Since you have the inverter at the front end, at any time one of the two oscillators (not...
