“…With both inductors and capacitors present, the summation terms in (12) will be linear combination of inductors and capacitors and sums of their products for higher order terms. With an inductor at port , setting all the other elements to their zero value and nulled independent sources, the system reduces to yet another first-order system with a time constant similar to (6), i.e., (17) Hence, in general, the terms are zero-value time constants associated with the capacitor or the inductor given by (14) or (17).…”

“…As a result, ZVT method by itself does not provide any information about the imaginary part of the poles and is completely oblivious to it. This can result in gross underestimation of the bandwidth using (37), when the circuit has dominant complex 17 As we saw in Section II, we can split a bandpass response with a welldefined mid-band gain into a low-pass and a high-pass one. We can arrive at the low pass response by setting certain biasing elements such as bypass capacitors, coupling capacitors, and RF chokes to their infinite values (shorted capacitor and open inductor).…”

Abstract-The generalized method of time and transfer constants is introduced. It can be used to determine the transfer function to the desired level of accuracy in terms of time and transfer constants of first-order systems using exclusively low frequency calculations. This method can be used to determine the poles and zeros of circuits with both inductors and capacitors. An inductive proof of this generalized method is given which subsumes special cases, such as methods of zero-and infinite-value time constants. Several important and useful corollaries of this method are discussed and several examples are analyzed.Index Terms-Bandwidth enhancement techniques, circuit Analysis, Cochran-Grabel method, determination of poles and zeros, infinite-value time constants (IVT), method of time and transfer constants (TTC), zero-value time constants (ZVT) .

this paper investigates low-power design of highspeed and high-swing electronic driver circuits. A method to estimate and optimize the power consumption of such driver ICs is presented. A 20-Gb/s driver circuit is fabricated in 0.25 μm SiGe BiCMOS process and an output swing of 2.5 V pp is measured. The driver consumes 0.75 W from 5 V supply.Index Terms -driver, breakdown voltage, emitter-follower, inductive peaking, jitter, overshoot.
