Degradation of the threshold voltage in CMOS transistors affects the performance of analog circuits over time. In order to meet set target specifications, the influence of these degradation modes needs to be considered and compensated during the design phase. This work introduces an aging-aware sensitivity function, which allows the computation of optimum operating points of transistors, revealing circuits with a minimum degradation with respect to aging. A PMOS common source amplifier is designed by setting operating points of all relevant transistors according to the minimal sensitivity with respect to aging. The results show that for given target specification this method provides a well functional measure to reduce the degradation of circuit characteristics. |
