Telescopic Cascode in 65nm Tech.
Aug 8th, 2012, 4:23am
 
I have designed a Telescopic Cascode in the 65nm Tech. and I want to ask about something I don't understand in the phase plot attached are both the topology written on it the operating point data and the bode plot (Gain magnitude and phase)

Please somebody answer me. Does that mean that people don't know the answer ?

It could mean that people are simply not bothering to open your rar file. Perhaps you would be better served if you simply posted the figures.

So what is it about that you don't understand? The phase jumping 360 degrees? I assume you understand something like cos(a)=cos(a+n*2pi) with n element of Z?

Considering your circuit, you might want to increase the NMOS cascode voltage. In this way your CS stage'vds<vdsat.

I want to know why the sudden change in the phase like that? what causes it in the circuit?

It is not caused in the circuit. It is caused in the way the phase is calculated for the waveform viewer. Try to unwrap it Wink
