In the past two decades, CMOS technology has rapidly embraced the field of analog inte-
grated circuits, providing low-cost, high-performance solutions and rising to dominate the
market. While silicon bipolar and III-V devices still find niche applications, only CMOS
processes have emerged as a viable choice for the integration of today's complex mixed-
signal systems. With channel lengths projected to scale down to 0.03 д m, CMOS technology
will continue to serve circuit design for probably another two decades.
Analog circuit design itself has evolved with the technology as well. High-voltage, high-
power analog circuits containing a few tens of transistors and processing small, continuous-
time signals have gradually been replaced by low-voltage, low-power systems comprising
thousands of devices and processing large, mostly discrete-time signals. For example, many
analog techniques used only ten years ago have been abandoned because they do not lend
themselves to low-voltage operation.
This textbook deals with the analysis and design of analog CMOS integrated circuits, emphasizing recent technological developments and design paradigms that students and practicing engineers need to master to succeed in today's industry. Based on the author's teaching and research experience in the past ten years, the text follows three general principles: motivate the reader by describing the significance and application of each idea with real-world problems; force the reader to look at concepts from an intuitive point of view, preparing him/her for more complex problems; complement the intuition by rigorous analysis, confirming the results obtained by the intuitive, yet rough approach. |
