Analog design at ultra-low supply voltages is an important challenge for
the semiconductor research community and industry.
Analog Circuit Design Techniques at 0.5V covers challenges for the
design of MOS analog and RF circuits at a 0.5 V power supply voltage.
All design techniques presented are true low voltage techniques - all
nodes in the circuits are within the power supply rails. The circuit
implementations of body and gate input fully differential amplifiers are
also discussed. These building blocks enable us to build continuous-time
filters, track-and-hold circuits, and continuous-time sigma delta
modulators.
Current books on low voltage analog design typically cover techniques
for supply voltages down to approximately 1V. This book presents novel
ideas and results for operation from much lower supply voltages and the
techniques presented are basic circuit techniques that are widely
applicable beyond the scope of the presented examples.
Analog Circuit Design Techniques at 0.5V is written for analog circuit
designers and researchers as well as graduate students studying
semiconductors and integrated circuit design.
