Hi,

   I have two questions about inverter design. I want to design a SC-amplifier by using inverter to replace OTA.
   First is how to calculate the power consumption of inverter? Is it the same way as we calculate the digital power consumption?
   P=(1/2)*VDD(square)*fs*CL
fs is sampling frequency, CL is the load.

   Second is for SC-amplifier based on OTA, gain bandwidth product of OTA is important for settling. Is it the same for inverter, if I use inverter instead of OTA. Do they have the same spec. for gain bandwidth product?

   If somebody have good references for inverter design, could you please introduce to me.

   Thank you.

Hi boe,

   Thank you. Now I use iprobe and calculator in spectre to get the average current, then I think I can use this value to estimate the power consumption.
