Author’s note: This article shows how to derive circuit gain equations via a signal flow graph. With practice you may be able to write a gain equation by locating signal paths and loops in the ...

Observations on nodal and loop analysis that can save a fair amount of scribbling of equations when using Kirchhoff's laws. In a previous Idea for Design, Anshi Chen outlined a method for analyzing ...

Circuit Dynamics: Design-Oriented Analysis, Dennis L. Feucht, Innovatia (www.innovatia.com), first printing: OCT 2016, 86 pages, 6 × 9 inch, glossy softcover, $25 US. This short book is a systematic, ...

To reflect the impact on transistors of smaller process nodes and the electrical effects that occur as a result, a shift is underway where the electrical analysis and verification that used to be done ...

A technique used on older process nodes is providing even more valuable benefits as IC designers work on devices that will be manufactured at advanced technology nodes including 28 nm and beyond. Now ...

Power grids (PGs) have consumed an increasingly larger percentage of routing resources in recent process node generations, due to lower maximum current limits imposed by the foundry. It is not ...
