Analog Design Done Right!
This is the place where you assign numbers to your schematic.
Here we teach methods for assigning proper dimensions to your integrated CMOS devices to ensure that they do what they are supposed to do.
Textbooks, lecture notes, and papers are excellent sources for learning circuit design and discovering new ideas or concepts. They provide guidance on the requirements of a circuit block, such as gain, transfer function poles and zeros, timing, and speed requirements. But do they also teach you how to size the transistors needed to meet these requirements in your new design?
You can always make an initial guess at your device dimensions and verify performance with a circuit simulator. And with that, you go into an endless loop of try and error until you get what you want. Not to mention, you may get a solution, but probably not the optimal solution.
Please refer to our blog section, where you will find a range of examples illustrating how our design methodology, in combination with SizingTool, can be utilised to assist you in designing your CMOS analogue circuits.
You need a concept and the right tools.
What we do
We provides concepts, guidance and software tools for sizing transistors in integrated circuits with an easy-to-learn methodology. Whether you are a novice or an expert, you can benefit from our methodology and dimension your devices in no time, serving as a near-perfect starting point for your verification. Moreover, our methodology is not limited to a few predefined circuit topologies; it works for literally any circuit in any application.
Why you need us
Mind the gap between conceptual design ideas and the initial blueprint of your solution. Modern simulation tools are of little help, leaving designers to guess at the initial parameters for their devices. However, a design workflow should not be a process of trial and error, as these tools are traditionally designed for verification. A true design methodology and tools, however, will provide geometry values for your devices to simply meet specifications.
What we can offer
We provide methods and tools designed by designers for designers. Our goal is to improve your workflow with minimal disruption, not to change what has evolved over decades. We will enhance and streamline your workflow with tools that really matter. Importantly, visit our growing blog section where we provide examples of clear solutions to complex problems. Also, we are always open to consulting with you or customizing our tools to meet your specific needs.
More about transistor sizing and hands-on recommendations
The following articles provide practical guidance on designing transistor-level analog circuits. Rather than introducing new circuit theory, which is well-covered in numerous excellent textbooks, these articles focus on strategies for assigning values to transistors to ensure the network functions as intended.
