DOWNLOAD EBOOKModern microelectronic design is characterized by the integration of full systems on a single die. These systems often include large high performance digital circuitry, high resolution analog parts, high driving I/O, and maybe RF sections. Designers of such systems are constantly faced with the challenge to achieve compatibility in electrical characteristics of every section: some circuitry presents fast transients and large consumption spikes, whereas others require quiet environments to achieve resolutions well beyond millivolts. Coupling between those sections is usually unavoidable, since the entire system shares the same silicon substrate bulk and the same package. Understanding the way coupling is produced, and knowing methods to isolate coupled circuitry, and how to apply every method, is then mandatory knowledge for every IC designer. Analysis and Solutions for Switching Noise Coupling in Mixed-Signal ICs is an in-depth look at coupling through the common silicon substrate, and noise at the power supply lines. It explains the elementary knowledge needed to understand these phenomena and presents a review of previous works and new research results. The aim is to provide an understanding of the reasons for these particular ways of coupling, review and suggest solutions to noise coupling, and provide criteria to apply noise reduction. Analysis and Solutions for Switching Noise Coupling in Mixed-Signal ICs is an ideal book, both as introductory material to noise-coupling problems in mixed-signal ICs, and for more advanced designers facing this problem.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDriven by applications such as telecommunications, computing and consumer/multimedia and facilitated by the progress in CMOS ULSI technology, the microelectronics IC market is characterized by an ever-increasing level of integration complexity. Today complete systems, that previously occupied one or more boards, are integrated on a few chips or even on one single multi-million transistor chip - a so called System-on-Chip (SoC). Although most functions in such integrated systems are implemented with digital or digital signal processing circuitry, the analog circuits needed at the interface between the electronic system and the continuous-valued outside world are also being integrated on the same die for reasons of cost and performance. Unfortunately, the integration of both analog & RF circuits and digital circuits on the same die not only offers many benefits, but also creates some technical difficulties. Since the analog circuits exploit the low-level physics of the fabrication process, they remain difficult and costly to design, but they are also vulnerable to any kind of noise or crosstalk signals. The higher levels of integration (moving towards 100 million transistors per chip clocked at ever higher frequencies) make the mixed-signal signal integrity problem increasingly challenging. One of the most important problems is the parasitic supply and substrate noise coupling, caused by the fast switching of the digital circuitry that then propagates to the sensitive analog circuitry via the common substrate. It is therefore important to be able to predict the impact of digital switching noise on the analog circuit performance at the design stage of the integrated system, before the chip is taped out for fabrication, and to understand how this problem can be reduced. The purpose of Substrate Noise Coupling in Mixed-Signal ASICs is to provide an overview of very recent research results in the field of substrate noise analysis and reduction techniques. Much of the reported work has been established as part of the Mixed-Signal Initiative of the European Union. It is a representative sampling of the current state of the art in this area. All the different aspects of the substrate noise coupling problem are covered. Some chapters describe techniques to model and reduce the digital switching noise injected in the substrate. Other chapters describe methods to analyse the propagation of the noise from the source (the digital circuitry) to the reception point (the embedded analog circuitry) through the substrate considered as a resistive/capacitive mesh. Finally, the remaining chapters describe techniques to model and especially to reduce the impact of substrate noise on the analog side. This is illustrated with several practical design examples and measurement results.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the past decade, substrate noise has had a constant and significant impact on the design of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits. Only recently, with advances in chip miniaturization and innovative circuit design, has substrate noise begun to plague fully digital circuits as well. To combat the effects of substrate noise, heavily over-designed structures are generally adopted, thus seriously limiting the advantages of innovative technologies. Substrate Noise: Analysis and Optimization for IC Design addresses the main problems posed by substrate noise from both an IC and a CAD designer perspective. The effects of substrate noise on performance in digital, analog, and mixed-signal circuits are presented, along with the mechanisms underlying noise generation, injection, and transport. Popular solutions to the substrate noise problem and the trade-offs often debated by designers are extensively discussed. Non-traditional approaches as well as semi-automated techniques to combat substrate noise are also addressed. Substrate Noise: Analysis and Optimization for IC Design will be of interest to researchers and professionals interested in signal integrity, as well as to mixed signal and RF designers.
