RF Power Amp Driver TSMC N3E-RF

 RF Power Amp Driver TSMC N3E-RF (one stage) 

 (note: Apple C1 by TSMA N4P )

PA Lessons, PA Verified by computing the exact KCL residual at its converged solution, not because of blow up of MNA

v22

change documentation

visualization (pt A&B by tuning v22 2.2*Vdd, 2*Vdd too tight)

learning roadmap

v23 self-heating loop

v24 MNA for S parameters

v25* IMN+OMN, brute force+ NM Opti.

v26* IMN+OMN, brute force+ CMA-ES (v23-v26 change log)

block diagram artifact

RF PA driver with 10 dBm output (not PA itself) (code, artifact, realistic spec, not just renaming)

Vdd @N3E nominally 0.75, max 0.8 V. The simulator default 3.3 V, too high

fix 1. thick ox 1.8v N4P single device (when cascode, v_mid approximation) No newton, No HB

fix 2. thick ox 1.8v N4P cascode (option single also works.) HB, Newton compute -- educational, no novelty
