Parasitic-aware design and optimization of a fully integrated CMOS wideband amplifier

摘要

A custom CAD synthesis tool based on particle swarm optimization, and results from the design of an RF CMOS distributed amplifier optimized to overcome non-idealities associated with parasitic-laden passives, are presented. The particle swarm synthesis approach is shown to be more than an order of magnitude faster than the simulated annealing design and optimization algorithm.
