Analog Circuit Design

Introduction

Industry has a need to transfer circuit designs from older integrated circuit processes into newer processes, which have lower device dimensions. This may be relatively simple for digital circuits. But, for analog circuits this is not straight forward at all because the requirements for noise, offset and dynamic range may resist sealing to smaller dimensions. Therefore, redesigns of analog circuits take a lot of effort. The purpose of these first six papers in this book is to help designers with designs, that can be transferred to future processes with smaller dimensions, or to guide in the process of transferring already existing circuit designs.

What is Analog Design?

    The design of circuits that function in and are optimized for continuous time-domain performance is the primary goal of the field of analogue design in the context of integrated circuit (IC) design. Common goals for analogue design include:

• Signal fidelity
• Amplification
• Filtering

RF Engineering for Wireless Networks

    Most people associate "integrated circuit design" with the creation of sophisticated microprocessors. Digital design techniques, which concentrate on the propagation of discrete values, or "ones and zeros," are used to create these circuits. It's crucial to realize that the study of large networks is made simpler by using this concept of propagating "ones and zeros." The design of analogue circuits genuinely serves as the basis for the design of digital circuits since the actual devices in any circuit respond to stimuli that are always changing.
