Adaptive Techniques for Mixed Signal System on Chip

Ayman Fayed , Mohammed Ismail

Adaptive Techniques for Mixed Signal Sytem on Chip discusses the concept of adaptation in the context of analog and mixed signal design along with different adaptive architectures used to control any system parameter. The first part of the book gives an overview of...

Low-Power Low-Voltage Sigma-Delta Modulators in Nanometer CMOS

Willy M Sansen , Michiel Steyaert , Libin Yao

Low-Power Low-Voltage Sigma-Delta Modulators in Nanometer CMOS addresses the low-power low-voltage Sigma-Delta ADC design in nanometer CMOS technologies at both the circuit-level and the system level. The low-power low-voltage Sigma-Delta modulator design at the circuit...

Design of Very High-Frequency Multirate Switched-Capacitor Circuits

Rui Paulo Da Silva Martins , Jose De Albuquerque Epifanio Da Franca , Ben U Seng Pan

Design of Very High-Frequency Multirate Switched-Capacitor Circuits presents the theory and the corresponding CMOS implementation of the novel multirate sampled-data analog interpolation technique which has its great potential on very high-frequency analog frond-end...

Matching Properties of Deep Sub-Micron MOS Transistors

Jeroen A. Croon , Herman E. Maes , Willy M Sansen

Matching Properties of Deep Sub-Micron MOS Transistors examines this interesting phenomenon. Microscopic fluctuations cause stochastic parameter fluctuations that affect the accuracy of the MOSFET. For analog circuits this determines the trade-off between speed, power,...

Sigma Delta A/D Conversion for Signal Conditioning

Kathleen Philips , Arthur H.M. Van Roermund

1.1 Background Moore’s Law predicts a decrease by a factor of two in the feature size of CMOS te- nology every three years and has been valid for years. It implies a doubling of the - eration speed and a four times higher transistor count per unit of area, every three...

Design of Wireless Autonomous Datalogger IC's

Wim Claes , Robert Puers , Willy M Sansen

Design of Wireless Autonomous Dataloggers IC's reveals the state of the art in the design of complex dataloggers, with a special focus on low power consumption. The emphasis is on autonomous dataloggers for stand-alone applications with remote reprogrammability. The...

Wideband Low Noise Amplifiers Exploiting Thermal Noise Cancellation

Federico Bruccoleri , Eric Klumperink , Bram Nauta

Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs) are commonly used to amplify signals that are too weak for direct processing for example in radio or cable receivers. Traditionally, low noise amplifiers are implemented via tuned amplifiers, exploiting inductors and capacitors in resonating...

Dynamic Characterisation of Analogue-to-Digital Converters

Dominique Dallet , José Machado Da Silva

The Analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) is the most pervasive block in electronic systems. With the advent of powerful digital signal processing and digital communication techniques, ADCs are fast becoming critical components for system’s performance and flexibility....
