Inverter-Based Circuit Design Techniques for Low Supply Voltages

This book describes intuitive analog design approaches using digital inverters, providing filter architectures and circuit techniques enabling high performance analog circuit design. The authors provide process, supply voltage and temperature (PVT) variation-tolerant design techniques for inverter based circuits. They also discuss various analog design techniques for lower technology nodes and lower power supply, which can be used for designing high performance systems-on-chip.

Explains in detail PVT-tolerant biasing of a digital inverter based analog circuits Provides techniques for low voltage, high dynamic range, inverter based, operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) design Describes use of tunable MOSCAPS for linear filters Enables readers to design PVT tolerant, high performance analog circuits at lower supply voltages and technologies
