This paper proposes a dynamic capacitance matching (DCM)-based RC current response algorithm for calculating the current waveform of a signal line without performing transistor level SPICE simulation. Specifically, unlike previous methods such as current source model, driver linear representation, waveform functional fitting or equivalent load capacitance, our algorithm does not rely on fixed reduced model of standard-cell driver or RC load. Instead, it approaches the current waveform dynamically by computing current responses of the target driver for various load scenarios. Besides, we creatively use symbolic expression to combine the y-parameter of RC network with the pre-characterized driver library in order to perform capacitance matching and simulate current waveform by considering the Miller and over/undershoot effects. Our algorithm is experimentally verified on 40nm CMOS technology and has been adopted by latest commercial tool for different nodes (from 180nm to 3nm). Experimental results show that our algorithm has only about 1% error compared with SPICE golden results while the runtime is improved by 50 to 200 times, which demonstrates overwhelming capability in calculating timing, power and electromigration of signal lines.

In this paper, we propose a compact wideband on-chip millimeter-wave (mm-wave) reconfigurable wideband filtering switch in 28-nm bulk CMOS technology. A dual-mode LC resonator loaded with transistors is used to achieve wideband filtering responses with a transmission zero at the lower frequency band. The resonant frequency of the resonator and the location of the transmission zero can be conveniently tuned to reconfigure the passband and stopband frequencies by turning on and off the transistor. Moreover, the passband can also be switched on and off, enabling the single-pole single-throw filtering switch circuit function. In this way, the proposed mm-wave reconfigurable filtering switch is applicable to the integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system, where image rejection in communication operation and a wide bandwidth (or high resolution) in sensing operation are both required. Furthermore, to meet the applications in the ISAC systems with different architectures, extension designs of the proposed reconfigurable filtering switch with the impedance conversion function, high-order responses, balanced-to-unbalanced transition, and differential input/output ports are presented in detailed. For demonstration, the wideband reconfigurable filtering switch has been fabricated. The core circuit has a very compact size of $0.205times 0.140$
