Analog Circuit Design

Analog Circuit Design

Sensors, Actuators and Power Drivers, Integrated Power Amplifiers from Wireline to RF, Very High Frequency Front Ends. Analog Circuit Design is based on the yearly Advances in Analog Circuit Design workshop. The aim of the workshop is to bring together designers of advanced analogue and RF circuits for the purpose of studying and discussing new possibilities and future developments in this field.

The book comprises 17 tutorial papers, divided in three chapters, each discussing a very relevant topic in present days analog design.

1. Sensors, Actuators and Power Drivers for the Automotive and Industrial Environment

2. Integrated PA’s: from Wireline to RF

3. Very High Frequency Front Ends

The series provides a valuable overview of analog circuit design and related CAD, mainly in the fields of basic analog modules, mixed-signal electronics, AD and DA converters, RF systems and automotive electronics. It is a reference for whoever is engaged in these disciplines and wishes to keep abreast of the latest developments in the field.
