Pico-second speeds in CMOS are power hogs... my usual design
cross-over point is around 250-300MHz.

In a WiFi repeater chip I come from 5GHz down to 250MHz in CML, then
CMOS.

Yes, but you went to school back when "circuit design" meant "circuit
design", not "simulating things you don't understand on software you
don't understand using a process you don't understand."

Yep. I was educated 1958-1962 BC (before computers ;-)
