During the last three years, the mixed-signal system-on-chip (SoC) market has grown consistently. Industry analyst firm IBS Corp. estimates that by 2006, more than 70 percent of all SoCs will contain ...

The design and optimisation of analog-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-analog converters (DACs) play a pivotal role in modern electronic systems, bridging the gap between the analog real world ...

Today's analog system designers face many design challenges. Not only do designers need to select the proper integrated-circuit components, but they also must accurately predict the interactions of ...

Continuing Linear Technology’s popular series of DesignNotes is Volume 3 of Analog Circuit Design (opening figure) with over 1000 pages (and five pounds) of analog circuits. Edited by Bob Dobkin and ...

One of the most challenging tasks in Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) design is to adapt the cicuitry to ever new CMOS process technology. For digital circuits the number of gates per square mm app.

Today’s high-precision analog systems need low-noise positive and negative voltage rails to power precision analog circuits such as analog-to-digital converters, digital-to-analog converters, bipolar ...

Munich/Germany and Honolulu/Hawaii – June 21, 2004 – At the 2004 Symposia on VLSI Technologies and Circuits, June 15 - 19 in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, Infineon Technologies demonstrated several ...

All design engineers know it well: there is hardly any time left until tape-out, but the amount of work that remains is not decreasing as fast as the deadline is approaching. The intricate schematic ...

Back in the day where the microprocessor was our standard building block, we tended to concentrate on computation and processing of data and not so much on I/O. Simply put there were a lot of things ...

I’ve been following the spectacular success of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)—a partnership consisting of NASA, European Space Agency (ESA), and Canadian Space Agency (CSA)—as well as looking ...

We often think of analog computing as a relic of the past, room-sized monstrosities filled with vacuum tubes doing their best to calculate Monte Carlo simulations or orbital velocities. Analog isn’t ...
