At the IEEE International Solid State Circuits Conference 2005 in San Francisco (February 6 – 10, 2005) Infineon Technologies AG held several technical lectures presenting trend-setting results from ...

Low-power high-speed CMOS comparators and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) play a pivotal role in modern electronics, from data-intensive computing systems to precision biomedical instrumentation.

“The goal of the electronic design automation software guys is to come up with a mixed-signal simulator. They haven't done it yet. It may not be doable.” —Dave Welland, cofounder, Silicon Laboratories ...

Time-based analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) represent an innovative shift from traditional voltage-based conversion schemes by utilising time-domain techniques for digitising analog signals.

Integrated circuits (IC) serve as the backbone of any information system and mobile devices. This course provides an in-depth review of the advanced technology in integrated circuit design targeting ...

Spirea AB is a Swedish fabless semiconductor company developing highly integrated low-power, low-cost radio solutions for the Wireless LAN and PAN markets. This article describes how we assembled a ...

Modern circuit design is a “mixed signal” endeavor thanks to the availability of sophisticated process technologies that make available bipolar and CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor), ...

Digital transition switching is the primary cause of noise in mixed-signal devices. Signal noise and immunity to power, ground, and substrate noise all benefit from using differential circuits. Design ...

Ultrawideband technology has been selected to serve as the foundation for evolutionary extensions to several very successful protocols. However, the promise of ubiquitous, high-bandwidth ...

They are usually used to sense temperature, flow, fill level, pressure, and other physical quantities, which are then converted to high resolution digital information and forwarded for further ...

Editor’s Note: The author describes the design of a low power, high speed differential to single-ended converter circuit that uses a novel feedback technique to achieve high bandwidth without ...
