phase noise simulation in driven circuit (Read 4123 times)

yc New Member Offline Posts: 2	phase noise simulation in driven circuit Dec 23^rd, 2009, 9:55am Dear All, Anybody has an idea using Spectre to simulate phase noise for driven circuits (CMOS logic circuit or differential buffers)? PNoise(source type) is applicable for automomous circuits I think. Anyone has other procedure for those driven circuit? Thanks a lot.

Any vendor's small signal noise analysis subjected to master large signal steady state analysis is applicable for both driven and autonomous circuits without any confusion.

Of course, you can adopt pnoise analysis of Cadence Spectre for driven circuit with almost same setting for autonomous circuits.

See the followings.

It entirely depends on what you're trying to measure! Regards, Andrew.
