Abstract
The author describes analog circuit design methodologies and techniques required to optimize high frequency performance when operating near the upper frequency limit of BJT-based analog ASICs. The Tektronix QuickChip 2S ASIC array is used as the analysis and test vehicle. These techniques are illustrated using a series of examples including an actively shunt-peaked wideband amplifier and a multi-chip FM receiver as well as an analysis of the need to optimize the RC product in the manual routing of both metallizations in critical areas of the circuit
