How can i implement a 'time-variable capacitor'
Oct 29th, 2006, 4:59pm
 
I am beginning the research on weak capacitive  signal pickup circuits design. I my research work I need generate a time-variable capacitor (Cs in the figure below) in Cadence and simulated it using Spectre.Cs is changing its capacitive value in a frequncy of 1kHz.

I have tried making a Cs using VerilogA language. But this can only generate varible current and is not fit my usage.
Recently I find a paper about 'variable capacitor '. But it is described in Pspice. I really want to kown if it can also used in Cacence Spcetre and how to do it.

 Can you give a suggestion about it?

And this is the paper about "variable capacitor" which is descibe in Pspice.

Who can give me some advice how can I draw a similiar 'cap' in Cadence with the compenents in the library "analogLib" and simulate with spectre?

Thanks a lot!
