This results in good phase noise and a wide tuning range of 58.7% when tuned between 0 to 1.4 V. At a 1 V Supply (V/sub DD/) and 1 MHz offset, the phase noise is -120 dBc/Hz at 3.0 GHz, and -114.5 dBc/Hz at 5.6 GHz. The power dissipation is between 2 and 3 mW across the whole tuning range.

V/sub t/ mismatch does not follow a simplistic 1/(/spl radic/area) law, especially for wide/short and narrow/long devices, which are common geometries in analog circuits. Further, Vt and gain factor are not appropriate parameters for modeling mismatch. A physically based mismatch model can be used to obtain dramatic improvements in the prediction of mismatch. This model is applied to MOSFET current mirrors to show some non-obvious effects over bias, geometry, and multiple unit devices.","PeriodicalId":209025,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 2002 Custom Integrated Circuits Conference (Cat.
