Title:	Active inductor techniques for BW extension
Issue Date:	2020-07-20
Description:	Today nano-meter technologies benefit from higher integration allowing for increased complexity, but also higher speeds. Demand for higher speeds at lower area and cost system pushes toward more self-contained circuits without the use of integrated passive components due to the large area required. This work aims to take advantage of CMOS technology and its reduced cost to research and design active inductors and its integration in circuits. There are many circuits such as LNA, CTLE, CML buffers, voltage mode driver that may require passive inductors to enhance its performance in today's era demand for speed. A study of the different topologies/techniques will be performed with the respective evaluation of their pros and cons. Based on these, a circuit architecture will be proposed and developed integrated within a block circuit with proper validation of the circuit performance parameters like power, ageing, precision, reliability and other relevant parameters.
