System Design using Current Mode Circuits

This book illustrates the design challenges when
analog circuits are used in massive parallel systems.
The usage of a bio-inspired scheme for sound
processing is new and little or no circuitry has been
developed to date to support such processing. This
book illustrates how appropriate circuits can be
built, highlighting the importance of accuracy and
system analysis using analog circuits. Many of the
illustrated circuits were fabricated. The measured
results from the integrated circuits are compared
with the theoretical predictions as well with the
results from circuit and Monte Carlo simulations. The
book emphasizes the importance of matching
constraints in current mode circuitry when designing
massively parallel, non-linear structures.

Christian Karl works currently at Intel Corporation as analog
design engineer and fub lead for high-speed digital IO. He
graduated in 2006 with a Ph.D. at Boston University. He was a co-
founder of Biomimetic Systems. Earlier, he worked as analog
design engineer for Siemens Corporation. He is looking back to a
15 year chip design experience.
