From Circuits to Systems: Unlocking the Power of Periodic Steady-State Analysis (eBook)

The PSS analyses—PAC, PNoise, and PXF—allow designers to dissect circuit performance with precision, accurately modeling frequency conversion, noise, stability, and distortion.

RF and mixed-signal design verification is getting harder. Heterogeneous integration means sensitive RF blocks now sit next to noisy digital logic. Advanced-node CMOS means analog functions are increasingly implemented with fast-switching digital circuits. Wireless standards keep evolving, and the documentation runs hundreds of pages.

Our new ebook, From Circuits to Systems: Unlocking the Power of Periodic Steady-State Analysis, takes a practical look at how periodic steady-state analysis addresses these challenges and why it remains essential 30 years on.

A few things you’ll get out of it:

  • How PSS analysis enables small-signal analyses (PAC, PNoise, PXF) on linear time-varying circuits that DC-based methods can’t handle
  • A side-by-side look at harmonic balance and shooting Newton, including which engine fits which design problem
  • Case studies covering X-band power amplifier design with load-pull, dynamic comparators in high-speed ADCs, and clock phase generators for time-interleaved converters
  • How the Spectre RF Option fits into a unified design and verification flow alongside the Virtuoso environment
