This work presents an $R_{on}/g_m$ based design methodology for Inverter based dynamic amplifiers(IBA), addressing a fundamental gap in existing approaches where the large-signal RC settling phase governed by the final stage device ON resistance $R_{on}$ remains uncharacterized until post-simulation. Unlike the conventional $g_m/I_D$ methodology, which targets only the small-signal transconductance, the proposed approach simultaneously co-designs both settling phases through pre-characterized device look-up tables (LUTs) derived from parametric SPICE simulations in the IHP SG13G2 130 nm BiCMOS process. These LUTs take into consideration of $R_{on}/g_m$ as a function of device geometry, bias, and process corner, making worst case corner behavior and valid bias deadzone boundaries directly readable at the design entry stage without iterative simulation. A head to head comparison with the $g_m/I_D$ methodology confirms that the $R_{on}/g_m$ approach achieves equivalent settling accuracy while substantially reducing design cycles and providing more useful information regarding deadzone bias requirement by surfacing process-corner sensitivity upfront.
