Great video! I like the philosophical comments in those videos. BTW, that Antenna book (If I saw correctly on the shelf), by Balanis, is excelent (along with his book on advanced electromagnetics) !
What spectacular timing, I just started diving into what is involved in developing SPICE models as my group will likely be requiring a novel DAC for a specific use in a cryogenic environment in the next few years. It's unlikely I will play a role in this, given my lack of education and skills in this domain, but my curiosity compels me. Thank you so much for the educational content and material you provide!
Simply the best content you can find on TH-cam. Just to let you know how much this content is appreciated, I used your favorite OTA in my current tapeout.
Incredible video, I loved both the review of SPICE and Analog Design, and especially the GitHub Actions workflow with NGSpice, I'm wanting to do something similar for mixed signal simulation as a T.A for a course at my university, I'll definitely use this repository for inspiration.
Hehe, good point. I'm a big dune fan, but this is a different spice variant. Although, in our universe it's a remarkable analog. Absolutely all integrated circuit design has been through a SPICE simulator, so the world does run on SPICE.
Amazing how similar your design decisions are too PCB design decisions, except yours are based on Quantum theory, whereas PCB are based on Maxwell's equations :)
I was doing some analog design with skywater and one of the fets has got width of near 0.35, which can only contain one contact. Should I redesign the ckt or is it ok?
Depends how many millions of the IC your going to make, and whether you have a production test that will catch a bad contact. If you are making millions, and it's hard to make a test, then redesign. If you're making a handful of ICs, then your design is probably going to be ok with one contact.

Cool, thanks! Yup, that's an Antenna book :-)
Analog design professional here! Just created a channel to comment how incredible this lecture is.. Thanks professor..
Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated!

how is this channel not more popular
Thanks for the great content.

There is a mixed signal design I'm playing with (not yet done) at github.com/analogicus/jnw_gr00_sky130A/tree/main . It has verilog on top.
Amazing videos. Thanks alot for your time.
Thank you !!
Great video
Great one! ❤
Thank you.
I thought this was going to be about Dune. Dune is all about Spice you know.

Aah, but Maxwell fall out of requiring local phase symmetry of the Dirac field, so it's all connected 😀m.th-cam.com/video/Sj_GSBaUE1o/w-d-xo.html

@@analogicus well I am not going to make millions so hopefully it'll be fine
