The basic resource is represented by VERTEX graphs, which describe a set of nonlinear equations between the parameters of circuit elements and the coefficients of circuit functions. Some feasible techniques of transforming these graphs into simpler structures are shown. As a result, the couplings among variations of individual parameters are made obvious that hold the monitored circuit features.","PeriodicalId":416680,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fourth IEEE International Caracas Conference on Devices, Circuits and Systems (Cat.

However, the linearity and reliability of LDMOSFETs is poor in comparison to VDMOSFETs.

For the wired space, the key requirements are very high speed active devices, extremely accurate interconnect modeling (lumped elements and transmission lines), and the ability to do very highly integrated analog and mixed signal chips. With data rates at 40 Gb/s, the distinction between digital and analog circuits becomes blurred and low frequency models are no longer adequate. RF/Analog layouts and models are needed for all active devices. SiGe BiCMOS satisfies all these requirements.","PeriodicalId":416680,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fourth IEEE International Caracas Conference on Devices, Circuits and Systems (Cat.

The control algorithm is based on the evaluation of active and reactive power by detecting line voltages and load currents. Then these powers are split in their average and alternative components using proper low-pass filters. The features linked to some different techniques of current control are investigated with reference to time behaviour and frequency spectrum of the resultant line current. Simulation results are discussed and compared with reference to a specific case-study.","PeriodicalId":416680,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fourth IEEE International Caracas Conference on Devices, Circuits and Systems (Cat.

However, for new generation of microprocessor, the slew rate of load change is so large that the socket inductance response delay is dominant in transient response. The existing of a socket generates large voltage spike under such a load-change transient due to the current response delay of inductance. A novel active compensator is presented to minimize total voltage variation within 2.5% when microprocessor operates at 1V, 100A and 2A/ns of current slew rate with the package capacitance decreasing to less than one-half of Pentium 4 level.","PeriodicalId":416680,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fourth IEEE International Caracas Conference on Devices, Circuits and Systems (Cat.
