Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for computer-assisted transistor design. A new transistor design can be generated based on characteristics of an existing transistor. The system for transistor design receives a first set of parameters for an existing transistor design that are functions of a first geometry that is descriptive of the existing transistor design. Next, the system establishes a set of constraints for the new transistor to be designed. The system then calculates pertinent dimensions of a geometry for the new transistor design based on the constraints and the first set of parameters.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing a filtered, thermometer coded output signal from an N bit digital input, where N is an integer greater than one. A truncated lookup table provides a corresponding truncated thermometer code in response an address related to the N bit digital input. A code recovery assembly transforms the truncated thermometer code into a thermometer coded output according to a recovery bit associated with the N bit digital input.

Abstract: The present invention facilitates serial communication by performing duty cycle correction. A duty cycle correction component 302 performs duty cycle corrections on a pair of differential sinusoidal signals according to a pair of adjustment signals and, as a result, generates a differential pair of square wave signals. A cross coupled buffer 306 buffers the differential pair of square wave signals and provides the buffered signals to a feedback circuit 304 that measures duty cycles of the signals and generates the pair of adjustment signals accordingly. The buffer 306 can also remove skew from the signals. In a transmitter 102, the buffered signals are also generally provided to a multiplexer 112 or encoder and in a receiver 106, the buffered signals are also generally provided to a sampling component 122.
