VHDL / auto-layout / decimation filter

[new_learn]

Hi, All:



I need to design a decimation filter in VHDL / Verilog, and convert VHDL
code to layout.



I have already design a sigma-delta modulator for 4 KHz input signal, 1.040
MHz sampling frequency in switched-capacitor architecture, and the OSR is
about 128.



I have many questions need your help:



1. How to convert VHDL / Verilog code to layout (*.db/ *.gds file), I mean
the auto-layout process by programs, is there only Verilog code to layout
way?



2. Could you please give me some ideas in decimation filter design,
especially in low-voltage low-power, in my system design, there is only 1-V
supply voltage.



Other questions:

If I already know the close/near harmonic/noise tone to signal point, could
I design a perfect decimation filter to archive a good system?



For a fully-differential sigma-delta modulator system, how to get inverse
signals for fully-differential inputs?



For single-ended system design, does the operation amplifier input offset
voltage decide the system fail?



Do you usually separate clock / comparator / switch / ĄK power line
independently?



Is it is possible to use mos as capacitor for switched-capacitor
architecture?





Thank you very much!

Best regards,



New learn, J.

Well, the usual way is to synthesize your HDL and fit that result into
an FPGA, a CPLD or an ASIC. You then design your PCB to accept the
chip.

Or did you not know that?

For a fully-differential sigma-delta modulator system, how to get inverse
signals for fully-differential inputs?

Inverting op-amps?
