What is parasitic capacitance?
Think about how components can affect each other when placed closely.
Name one method to minimize parasitic effects.
Consider how you might lay out a circuit to reduce unwanted interactions.
What is the main impact of layout on CMOS circuits?
Consider what layout issues can lead to performance problems.
True or False: Shorter interconnections in a CMOS circuit can lead to increased parasitic capacitance.
Think about the relationship between length and capacitance.
Design a CMOS layout for a high-speed application, optimizing for minimal parasitic effects. Describe the trade-offs involved in your design choices.
Consider how speed flows relate to layout density.
Evaluate a given circuit layout that has high parasitic effects and devise a plan to optimize it. Which factors will you prioritize?
Think of ways to rearrange schools of fish so they can swim faster through a given space.
