Overview
This volume of Analog Circuit Design concentrates on three topics: MOST RF Circuits; Bandpass Delta-Sigma Converters; Translinear Circuits. The book comprises six papers on each topic written by internationally recognised experts. These papers are tutorial in nature and together make a substantial contribution to improving the design of analog circuits. The book is divided into three parts:Part I, MOST RF Circuits, demonstrates the viability of using CMOS for high-frequency communication applications. This renaissance in radio-frequency design is largely driven by the explosion of interest in telecommunications and several of the papers are specifically targeted to wireless communication applications.
Part II, Bandpass Delta-Sigma Converters, describes the latest developments in analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters. These converters find applications in telecommunications, hearing aids and audio systems, particularly when they consume low-power and have high performance. This part concludes by looking at the CAD tools required for the design of such converters.
Part III, Translinear Circuits, have become important devices in building analog linear functions with variable parameters. This part of the book presents the latest research and techniques for designing Translinear Circuits using both bipolar and CMOS technologies.
Analog Circuit Design is an essential reference source for analog design engineers and researchers wishing to keep abreast with the latest developments in the field. The tutorial nature of the contributions also makes it suitable for use in an advanced course.
Synopsis
This volume of Analog Circuit Design concentrates on three topics: (X)DSL and other communication systems; RF MOST models; and integrated filters and oscillators. The book comprises five chapters on the first topic with six each on the other two, all written by internationally recognized experts. They are tutorial in nature and together make a substantial contribution to improving the design of analog circuits. The book is divided into three parts:
Part I: (X)DSL and other Communication Systems presents some examples of recent improved modem techniques which have resulted in much higher transmission speeds over the local telephone network. It also presents components for the implementation of different standards.
Part II: RF MOST Models investigates the state of the art in RF MOST models. It compares the existing BSIM3v3, Philips' Model 9 and the EKV model with respect to their capability to accurately predict GHz performance with submicron CMOST technologies. It shows how it has now become quite feasible to model a MOST at very high frequencies, giving rise to an increased use of MOST technologies in RF applications.
Part III: Integrated Filters and Oscillators illustrates how the increasing use of communication tools goes hand-in-hand with the design of analog filters and oscillators with greater flexibility and higher bandwidth.
