Model of the Month

Modeling a switched-capacitor DC-DC converter

This application note models the switched-capacitor DC-DC converter presented by Hanh-Phuc Le, et al., in the 2011 JSSC article.

Tip of the Month

Modeling a duty-cycle adjuster (DCA) circuit

Check out a simple way to model a circuit that can adjust the duty-cycle of a clock using 'transition' and 'slice' primitives.

Primitive of the Month

transition

This primitive is similar to the 'transition' operator in Verilog-A, converting a digital signal to an analog signal with finite rise and fall times.
