Adjacent Capacitance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Adjacent Capacitance = (Victim Voltage*Ground Capacitance)/(Agressor Voltage-Victim Voltage)
C_adj = (V_tm*C_gnd)/(V_agr-V_tm)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Adjacent Capacitance - (Measured in Farad) - Adjacent capacitance is the capacitance at adjacent point.
Victim Voltage - (Measured in Volt) - Victim Voltage is calculated when the victim being actively driven, then the driver will supply current to oppose to reduce the victim's noise.
Ground Capacitance - (Measured in Farad) - Ground Capacitance is the capacitance at the ground of the CMOS Circuit.
Agressor Voltage - (Measured in Volt) - Agressor Voltage refers to the avoided voltage in a CMOS circuit, which is typically a small positive voltage added to the input signal to avoid unwanted triggering of the circuit.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Victim Voltage: 12.75 Volt --> 12.75 Volt No Conversion Required

How does noise vary with victim and the aggressor?

Suppose wire A switches while B is supposed to remain constant. This introduces noise as B partially switches. We call A the aggressor or perpetrator and B the victim. t when the victim is floating, the noise remains indefinitely. When the victim is driven, the driver restores the victim. Larger (faster) drivers oppose the coupling sooner and result in noise that is a smaller percentage of the supply voltage. Note that during the noise event the victim transistor is in its linear region while the aggressor is in saturation. For equal-sized drivers, this means Raggressor is two to four times Rvictim, with greater ratios arising from more velocity saturation.

FAQ

What is Adjacent Capacitance?

The Adjacent capacitance formula is defined as the capacitance that is adjacent to the node Ae wire A switches while B is supposed to remain constant and is represented as C_adj = (V_tm*C_gnd)/(V_agr-V_tm) or Adjacent Capacitance = (Victim Voltage*Ground Capacitance)/(Agressor Voltage-Victim Voltage). Victim Voltage is calculated when the victim being actively driven, then the driver will supply current to oppose to reduce the victim's noise, Ground Capacitance is the capacitance at the ground of the CMOS Circuit & Agressor Voltage refers to the avoided voltage in a CMOS circuit, which is typically a small positive voltage added to the input signal to avoid unwanted triggering of the circuit.

How to calculate Adjacent Capacitance?

The Adjacent capacitance formula is defined as the capacitance that is adjacent to the node Ae wire A switches while B is supposed to remain constant is calculated using Adjacent Capacitance = (Victim Voltage*Ground Capacitance)/(Agressor Voltage-Victim Voltage). To calculate Adjacent Capacitance, you need Victim Voltage (V_tm), Ground Capacitance (C_gnd) & Agressor Voltage (V_agr). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Victim Voltage, Ground Capacitance & Agressor Voltage and hit the calculate button.
