VLSI Technology and VLSI Analog Circuits

Analog signal processing circuits have been widely used in many VLSI circuit applications such as high speed I/O circuits, communication circuits and instrumentation circuits. 

The increasing demands for system mobility with higher packing density, smaller form factors, lower power dissipation, and the trend of system-on-a-chip (SOC) integrations in recent years are the main driving forces for VLSI- integrated analog signal processing circuits implemented in the standard CMOS process technologies. Such implementation trends are featured by the recent developments of various CMOS-specific analog processing circuit techniques.

In VLSI study focus on algorithms, modeling and architecture and VLSI circuit-circuit implementation techniques of various CMOS analog signal processing circuits.

The material is organized with two things:

• To bridge the existing gaps between the existing theoretical work and the implementation of VLSI analog signal processing circuits

• To present the systematic design implementations and analysis methodologies for these VLSI signal processing circuits based on the how we design CMOS process technologies.
