Synopsis

State-of-the-art analogue integrated circuit design is receiving a tremendous boost from the development and application of current-mode approaches, which are rapidly superseding traditional voltage-mode techniques. This activity is linked to important advances in integrated circuit technologies, such as the 'true' complementary bipolar process; CMOS VLSI technology, which allows realisation of high-performance mixed analogue and digital circuits; and gallium arsenide processing, which has matured to a point where it can be used effectively in high-speed analogue circuit and system design. In this book, all three technologies are represented, with key building blocks, circuit designs and applications. Many very important, but recent, techniques are presented, including switched-current techniques for high-precision filtering and A/D and D/A conversion, current-based amplifying techniques, and neural networks. Translinear principles, current mirrors, and the current conveyor are also covered. This book draws together contributions from the world's most eminent analogue IC designers to provide, for the first time, a comprehensive text devoted to this important and exciting new area of analogue electronics.

About this title

Review

'This authoritative text will enhance the graduate or professional engineer's understanding of circuit behaviour as well as provide additional circuit configurations for new systems.'

--Electronics & Communication Engineering Journal

Synopsis

Joint-winner of the Rayleigh Book Award in 1991, this text covers the current-mode approach to integrated circuit design. The approach has sparked much interest in analogue electronics and is linked to important advances in integrated circuit technology, such as CMOS VLSI, which allows mixed analogue and digital circuits, and high-speed GaAs processing. The book draws together tutorial contributions from the world's most eminent analogue circuit designers. It is now being republished in paperback as the subject has entered the syllabus of upper level undergraduate courses in electronics and circuit design.
