The field of analog circuit design has transformed itself over the past decades. Interest in integrating analog circuits side-by-side with digital circuits has led to the use of smaller and smaller devices, and lower and lower power supply voltages. The material presented in this book takes ultra-low voltage analog circuit design to a power supply voltage as low as 0.5 V. The book discusses general design ideas and techniques for a supply voltage of 0.5 V. OTA design and biasing are covered extensively.We further present the design of analog systems using these techniques. They include the design of a filter with a PLL, a continuous-time Σ modulator, a track-and-hold circuit, and receiver frontend circuits.
