DIGITALLY ASSISTED ANALOG CIRCUITS PRESENTATION#1
AGENDA • Introduction • Motivation • Key Research Labs • Future Goals • Applications • Published Research • Conclusion
Introduction • Digitally Assisted Analog Circuits. • This term was used first as a research title in 2004 [1].
Motivation • Progress in digital circuits has outpaced performance growth in analog circuits • High speed • Higher device density • Low power consumption • scalable, synthesizable, and self-testable • Signal processing predominantly done in digital domain • Problems in analog circuits • Non-linearity • Device specific noise • Limitations in accuracy and speed.
Future Goals • Reduce power consumption[2] • Reduced mismatch between different processes[2]. • Remove the need for accurate settling time[2]. • Higher speeds.[2] • Design amplifiers that do not require constant biasing [2].
Applications • The digital assistance for analog circuits are required for: • Analog to Digital Converters • Power Amplifiers • Direct conversion receivers • Delta Sigma Modulators
Key Research Labs • Dr. Boris Murmann of the Electrical Engineering Department at Stanford University, USA. • http://www.stanford.edu/group/murmann_group/ • Dr . Joel L.
