Book Description

Publication Date: August 2, 2007 | Series: Analog Circuits and Signal Processing

This book tackles challenges for the design of analog integrated circuits that operate from ultra-low power supply voltages (down to 0.5V). Coverage demonstrates the signal processing circuit and circuit biasing approaches through the design of operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs). These amplifiers are then used to build analog system functions including continuous time filter and a sample and hold amplifier.

From the Back Cover

Analog design at ultra-low supply voltages is an important challenge for the semiconductor research community and industry. Analog Circuit Design Techniques at 0.5V covers challenges for the design of MOS analog and RF circuits at a 0.5V power supply voltage. All design techniques presented are true low voltage techniques - all nodes in the circuits are within the power supply rails. The circuit implementations of body and gate input fully differential amplifiers are also discussed. These building blocks enable us to build continuous-time filters, track-and-hold circuits, and continuous-time sigma delta modulators. Current books on low voltage analog design typically cover techniques for supply voltages down to approximately 1V. This book presents novel ideas and results for operation from much lower supply voltages and the techniques presented are basic circuit techniques that are widely applicable beyond the scope of the presented examples. Analog Circuit Design Techniques at 0.5V is written for analog circuit designers and researchers as well as graduate students studying semiconductors and integrated circuit design.

This review is from: Analog Circuit Design Techniques at 0.5V (Analog Circuits and Signal Processing) (Hardcover)

Basically a brief (150 page) presentation of Columbia PhD work. See the authors' papers, for example, "0.5V Analog Circuit Techniques...", IEEE J Solid State Circuits, Dec. 2005, pp.2372-2387, "0.5V Track-and-Hold Circuit..." IEEE J Solid State Circuits, April 2007, pp. 722-729 and other papers by the authors. Each chapter deals individually with an already published article. Definitely not increasing the glory of the Analog Circuits Series edited by M. Ismail.
