~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
- Cell Name: :cell:`sky130_fd_pr_base__cap_int3_vppcap`
|
||
- Model Names: :model:`sky130_fd_pr_base__xcmvppXxY _{MMshield}`
|
||
|
||
- X and Y are size dimentions
|
||
- {MMshield} refers to metal layer used as shield
|

Operating Voltages where SPICE models are valid
|
||
|
||
- \|V\ :sub:`c0` – V\ :sub:`c1`\ \| = 0 to 5.5V

The VPP caps utilize the tight spacings of the metal lines to create capacitors using the available metal layers. The fingers go in opposite directions to minimize alignment-related variability, and the capacitor sits on field oxide to minimize silicon capacitance effects. A schematic diagram of the layout is shown below:

These capacitors are fixed-size, and they can be connected together to multiply the effective capacitance of a given node. There are multiple constructions under two different cell names:
