Low power consumption, high performance, and minimum silicon area are the key characteristics for defining the competitiveness of an analog circuit. For a given process node, these three variables create fundamental trade-offs during circuit design.

How can you decide which analog process to use in a new design? Or, how do you decide when it is time to port an existing design to a process with a smaller geometry? In this paper, we will introduce a key performance metric, PPA, that will provide clear metrics to help you make these critical decisions.
