Abstract :
Signal integrity is one of the major challenges in system-on-a-chip (SOC) integration. The complexity of the associated problems increases when RF circuits are integrated together with other circuits, such as digital or large signal circuits. In this material, an analysis of possible interactions between an on-chip inductor and various types of circuit blocks is described. Conclusions on the feasibility of an inductor-circuit system are outlined.
