An accurate and scalable differential inductor design kit [RFIC applications]

An accurate and scalable RF differential inductor design kit is presented in this paper. The RF model in this design kit is accurate and continuous, capable of predicting all the differential inductors in the test element group. Coded into a smart and interactive foundry design kit, this scalable inductor model can be fully exploited to help cope with the increasing demands of new circuit design trends effectively and efficiently.
