Overview
One of the main trends of microelectronics is toward design for integrated systems, i.e., system-on-a-chip (SoC) or system-on-silicon (SoS). Due to this development, design techniques for mixed-signal circuits become more important than before. Among other devices, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters are the two bridges between the analog and the digital worlds. Besides, low-power design technique is one of the main issues for embedded systems, especially for hand-held applications.
Modular Low-Power, High-Speed CMOS Analog-to-Digital Converter for Embedded Systems aims at design techniques for low-power, high-speed analog-to-digital converter processed by the standard CMOS technology. Additionally this book covers physical integration issues of A/D converter integrated in SoC, i.e., substrate crosstalk and reference voltage network design.
Synopsis
Lin (National Cheng Kung U., Taiwan), Armin Kemna, and Bedrich J. Hosticka (both Fraunhofer Institute, Germany) report the findings of a large European project begun in 1997 to promote the development and implementation of design methods to reduce the consumption of electricity by electronic systems. They address low-power design at the levels of the system and algorithm, instruction set processor, custom processor, RT, gate, circuit, and layout. The 10 projects they describe deal mostly with digital, analog, and mixed signals; but two consider software related aspects. Applications for them are in communication, medical equipment, and devices for electronic commerce. Readers are expected to be eye deep in electronic design.
