Part 3 Parasitics
Explains the unwanted physical components, affecting the
performance of our design. Although, we may not be able
to completely eliminate them, this part explains how we
can keep them under control

Parasitics Capacitance (Cont.)
Metal Selection
In this figure we see two circuits, each placed in a P-
substrate. You can see that each circuit has a capacitance to
substrate. We also have the parasitic resistance of the
substrate itself. The parasitics can couple the noise from
circuit 1 to circuit 2 through substrate. This could be a real
problem if you are trying to keep circuit 2 isolated from noise
