@Tim Edwards @Matt Venn Hi, I needed some resistors for analog applications but the skywater page ( pfa) says this resistor is not suitable for it. Which resistors can I use for analog biasing? I need some 30 ohms resistors or near by
t
Use poly resistors, not diffusion resistors.
sky130_fd_pr__res_generic_po
(48.2 ohms/square). Because it's generally not recommended to make a resistor shorter than several squares, you probably want to put a number of them in parallel.

@Tim Edwards,thanks for the reply. How much current can they carry? the website only mentions about current for sky130_fd_pr__res_high_po. Also I think A is suitable for me but i need to flow 3mA through it

We didn't get electromigration rules from SkyWater, so those were estimated for the metal layers from consideration of the material and cross-section. I don't have such an estimate for polysilicon. However, I think if you have three or four resistors of 1um wide in parallel to make up the 48.2 ohms, you shouldn't have any problem running 3mA through them.

Thanks,but how much current per port can a analog pad in caravan sink? To supply to resistors inside? @Tim Edwards
t
All current passes through the metal3 tab which is the limiting part of the pad cell. The electromigration limit on metal 3 is 1.5mA/um.

Hi Tim, The wrapper input pin width is 1.2u (SOURCE) and which is connecting to internal 3.1um metal width. It is not okay rt? snap shot attached @Tim Edwards
