| 10.6.1 Devices required to be laid out as matched pair |
| ============================================================ |
| |
| Most of the time, the following are the type of devices required to be drawn for a good matched pair |
| |
| **(1) MOS Transistors** |
| |
| (a) NMOS Matched pair: Two NMOS of same type (same operating voltage and process layers) required to be matched in electrical characteristics. (S: Source, D: Drain, G: Gate) |

| (b) PMOS Matched pair: Two PMOS of same type (same operating voltage and process layers) required to be matched in electrical characteristics. (S: Source, D: Drain, G: Gate) |

| **(2) BJT Transistors** |
| |
| Two BJT transistors (NPNs or PNPs) of same type (same operating voltage and process layers) required to be matched in electrical characteristics: (E: Emitter, B: Base, C: Collector). |

| **(3) Capacitors** |
| |
| Two identical (same operating voltage and process layers) capacitor (e.g MIM Caps) required to be matched in electrical characteristics. (T1: Capacitor top plate terminal, T2: capacitor's bottom plate terminal). |

| **(4) Resistors** |
| |
| Two identical (same operating voltage and process layers) resistors (e.g Poly resistors) required to be matched in electrical characteristics. (T1: resistors one terminal, T2: Resistor's other terminal). |
