System integrity is emerging as an important issue as very large scale integration (VLSI) technology advances to nanoscale regime. This rise to system-on-chip (SoC) concept, due to this several systems is included such as rf, optical, etc. In mixed-signal system, both analog and digital circuits are being integrated in to a same chip. In this case power-supply noise is a significant problem in mixed-signal systems on a chip. This is due to the impulse like currents drawn by the CMOS gates during transitions cause noise in the sensitive analog circuits via power supply/ground (PG) and substrate. These unwanted variations in PG network is found to be most dominant source of substrate noise currents injected into the substrate. The switching noise generated by the CMOS gates also couple into sensitive analog blocks via the bonding wires and the shared PG buses. A noise-localization technique using on-chip active inductors along with an active decoupling capacitance using nmos is proposed. This would make the noise current generated by the digital gates to remain local in the region of the digital gates as well as reduction in the area of the circuit. This active inductor and active capacitor is designed using GDPK 90nm and 45nm CMOS technology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
