Passive devices such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors, are commonly used in biasing circuits, feedback networks, and signal or energy storage blocks. However, these passive devices, when built on fabrication processes that are optimized for transistors, may have characteristics different from their ideal or discrete counterparts. In this module, we examine the behavior of passive devices built alongside CMOS transistors.
We will divide this module into the following sections:
