Method And Apparatus For Analyzing Small Signal Response And Noise In Nonlinear Circuits

View page
US Patent:
6536026, Mar 18, 2003
Filed:
Jun 30, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/896079
Inventors:
Kiran K. Gullapalli - Austin TX
Assignee:
Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:
G06F 1750
US Classification:
716 6, 716 1, 716 4, 716 10
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to analyzing small signal response and noise in nonlinear circuits. One embodiment relates to a computer implemented method for analyzing an electrical circuit. The method includes receiving a circuit description and circuit element models, generating circuit equations using the circuit description and models, and determining a periodic stead-state response of the electrical circuit in the time domain. The method further includes linearizing the circuit element models about the steady-state response, generating a time-varying linear system of equations, and representing a small signal solution to the time-varying linear system of equations in response to a sine wave input as an amplitude modulated sine wave. The method also includes discretizing the time-varying linear system of equations by discretizing only the amplitude modulation of the small signal solution and performing a time-varying small signal analysis of the electrical circuit using the discretized equations.

Method And Apparatus For Distortion Analysis In Nonlinear Circuits

View page
US Patent:
7007253, Feb 28, 2006
Filed:
Sep 8, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/657304
Inventors:
Kiran K. Gullapalli - Austin TX, US
Mark M. Gourary - Moscow, RU
Sergei G. Rusakov - Moscow, RU
Sergei L. Ulyanov - Moscow, RU
Mikhail M. Zharov - Moscow, RU
Assignee:
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. - Austin TX
International Classification:
G06F 17/50
US Classification:
716 5, 716 4, 716 6
Abstract:
A circuit on an integrated circuit is made from a design that is verified using a design tool. The design tool takes a model of the circuit and generates equations with respect to nodes on the circuit. The time consuming task of completely determining the voltage at each node is performed for a predetermined input. To determine the node voltages for other signals, the first order transfer function of the equations is taken and then calculated for the predetermined input. A first order estimate of the node voltages is achieved using this first order transfer function and the node voltages determined from the predetermined input. A second order estimate is achieved using the first order transfer function and the first order estimate. A third order estimate is achieved using the first order transfer function and the second order estimate. The circuit design is verified for manufacturabiltity then manufactured.

Automatic, Hierarchy-Independent Partitioning Method For Transistor-Level Circuit Simulation

View page
US Patent:
8060355, Nov 15, 2011
Filed:
Jul 27, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/829844
Inventors:
Kevin J. Kerns - San Jose CA, US
Mayukh Bhattacharya - Fremont CA, US
Svetlana Rudnaya - San Jose CA, US
Kiran Gullapalli - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
Synopsys, Inc. - Mountain View CA
International Classification:
G06F 17/50
US Classification:
703 14, 716 1
Abstract:
A method of providing simulation results includes detecting any power net and rail in a circuit netlist. The circuit can be divided into net-partitioned blocks. Using these net-partitioned blocks, a topological analysis can be performed to identify cuttable/un-cuttable devices and synchronization requirements. Then, the circuit can be re-divided into rail-partitioned blocks. Using these rail-partitioned blocks, a sparse solver can identify potential partitions, but eliminate fill-ins as determined by the topological analysis. A cost function can be applied to the potential partitions as well as the identified cuttable/un-cuttable devices to determine final cut points in the circuit and dynamic inputs to the final blocks. Simulation can be performed on the final blocks and simulation results can be generated.

Circuit Simulation Acceleration Using Model Caching

US Patent:
20130054217, Feb 28, 2013
Filed:
Aug 22, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/214827
Inventors:
Kiran Kumar Gullapalli - Austin TX, US
Steven D. Hamm - Austin TX, US
International Classification:
G06F 17/50
US Classification:
703 14
Abstract:
A mechanism for improving speed of simulation of complex circuits that include transistors and other devices that share similar properties is provided. Circuit simulation speed is improved by efficiently identifying transistors and other devices having identical properties that share a same state at the time of interest in the simulation. Transistors and other devices are collected into groups having the same characteristics and topologies prior to simulation. Then during simulation, a determination is made as to whether a previously-evaluated transistor or device in the same group as a presently-being evaluated transistor or device has terminal input values that are the same, or nearly the same. If so, then output values of the previously-evaluated transistor or device are used in calculating the output values of the present transistor or device.

Apparatus And Method For Modeling A Graded Channel Transistor

View page
US Patent:
56873557, Nov 11, 1997
Filed:
Aug 21, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/517046
Inventors:
Kuntal Joardar - Chandler AZ
Kiran Kumar Gullapalli - Austin TX
Assignee:
Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:
G06F 9455
G06F 1750
US Classification:
395500
Abstract:
The present invention generates a model of a graded channel transistor having at least two channel portions of differing doping concentrations. The present invention assumes a uniform doping concentration of each channel portion. Each of the channel portions is modeled using a standard transistor model (100, 120) with junction voltages (64) resulting between the transistor models. The junction voltages (64) are determined to be at a level such that the channel currents of the transistor models (60, 62) are equal. Once the junction voltages (64) are determined, the parameters of the transistor models (60, 62) are determined. Once the transistor models (60, 62) are determined, the models are combined to produce a composite transistor model (70) for the transistor using standard circuit reduction techniques. The composite model produced is scalable with respect to geometry, is continuous, and is differentiable. Steps are also disclosed for manufacturing integrated circuits using the modeling techniques of the present invention.

US Patent:
57991723, Aug 25, 1998
Filed:
Sep 10, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/711638
Inventors:
Kiran Kumar Gullapalli - Austin TX
Brian J. Mulvaney - Austin TX
Steven D. Hamm - Austin TX
Steven R. Beckerich - Austin TX
Assignee:
Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:
G06G 748
US Classification:
395500
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for simulating the design of an integrated circuit uses a processor (200). The processor (200) executes a simulator (540) from memory (280) to exercise a model (544). The data points (15-27) of an output signal are stored in a history data file (542). The techniques used to generate each of the data points (15-27) are also stored in the history data in file (542). The history data are then used to generate a converted output signal that has a uniform time scale. If the converted output signal requires the generation of a desired data point, then the approximation technique used to generate the following data point stored in the history data (542) is used.

Semiconductor Device Apparatus Having Multiple Current-Voltage Curves And Zero-Bias Memory

View page
US Patent:
54081076, Apr 18, 1995
Filed:
May 20, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/065343
Inventors:
Dean P. Neikirk - Austin TX
Kiran K. Gullapalli - Austin TX
Assignee:
The Board of Regents of the University of Texas System - Austin TX
International Classification:
H01L 2712
H01L 4800
H01L 4902
US Classification:
257 28
Abstract:
Heterostructure barrier quantum well device with a super-lattice structure of alternating lightly doped and heavily doped spacer layers having multiple, stable current-voltage curves extending continuously through zero bias at ambient temperature. The device can be repetitively switched between the multiple current-voltage curves. Once placed on a particular curve, the device retains memory of the curve it has been set on, even if held at zero bias for extended periods of time. The device can be switched between current-voltage curve settings at higher positive or negative voltages and can be read at lower voltages. Switching between current-voltage curve settings can also be effected by additional terminal connection(s) to the spacer layer(s).
