An all-inversion-region MOST design methodology applied to a ratioless differential LC-VCO ´ Rafaella Fiorelli , Fernando Silveira and Eduardo Peralıas IMSE-CNM (CSIC) and Universidad de Sevilla, Seville, Spain. ´ ´ Facultad de Ingenierıa, Universidad de la Republica, Montevideo, Uruguay, e-mail: fiorelli@imse-cnm.csic.es Abstract—This paper presents a general optimization method- information provided by the foundry. As a hypothesis, ology for analog blocks in RF applications, with CMOS nanome- MOST is considered to be working quasistatically, so its ter technologies, based on the complete exploration of all-in- working frequency is at least one tenth of its transition version regions of MOS transistor (MOST). The fundamental tool is the systematic use of the MOST technique and frequency [3]. the description of the real behavior of all devices by means of 2) Passive semi-empirical modeling : Parasitic parameters semi-empirical models. To exemplify this technique, the differen- extraction of passive components (inductors, capacitors, tial ratioless cross-coupled LC-tank voltage controlled oscillator varactors and resistors) are expressed in LUTs, for the (LC-VCO) circuit is studied. The implemented design flow working frequency . Since for each nominal value of minimizes the LC-VCO phase noise considering the constraints of current consumption,
