substrate noise in CMOS
8QLYHUVLW\RI7ZHQWH
• digital Vss is tied to substrate: Vssd=Vsub
• digital logic draws peak currents
• PCB ground is not available on-chip (due to L bondwire)

substrate voltage
G,
9VXE =/
GW
8QLYHUVLW\RI7ZHQWH
problems in analog:
in band
• coupling sampling
out band
demodualtion
8QLYHUVLW\RI7ZHQWH
example : current mirror
VT modulation
8QLYHUVLW\RI7ZHQWH
• connect Vssa to substrate
8QLYHUVLW\RI7ZHQWH
Cascodes must also follow the substrate
8QLYHUVLW\RI7ZHQWH
strategy for analog
• Connect analog Vss to dirty substrate
• NMOS: for DC current sources
• PMOS: for signal handling
• Use differential signals
• Use shielding for non-substrate related signals
