  What are the Blocks Present in an Amplifier? Differential Amplifier Current Mirror Current Sink Resistor & Capacitors. What are the Factors considered while Matching Amplifier? Routing is equidistant Dummy Variation is minimized both x & Y axis What are the Factors considered while Floor Planning from Scratch? Important->>Input and Output taken where signals come so that they don’t cross over each other Guard rings->> latch UP Signal flow Matching Why do we put guard rings around devices? To prevent latch up. To reduce resistance (make less chance of ON transistor) Prevention to overcome Latch Up? Use guard rings->> to reduce resistance. SOI What happens if more Current occurs during latch up? Creates destruction of device & short Which signal will you shield clock/biasing? Clock more switching takes place so we go for shielding biasing. Explain Antenna effect. If we have violation in M...
