Preface

There are growing demands for low-voltage circuits and systems, especially for system-on-a-chip applications. When switched to low supply voltage, digital circuits do not suffer the degradation in performance. On the other hand, the circuit performance of analog circuits are strongly affected by reduced supply voltage. In addition, chip area should also be taken into consideration to reduce the cost of advanced multi-function SOC design. Therefore, there is urgent need to develop new design techniques for analog circuits at 1-V supply. In Chapter 2, novel transconductors with the applications for wireless and wireline systems are introduced. The transconductor is a basic building block for analog circuits, such as the Gm -C filter, continuous-time delta-sigma modulator, voltage-controlled oscillator, and multiplier. First, the configuration of a linearized transconductor for low-voltage and high-frequency applications is proposed. By using double pseudo-differential pairs and the source degeneration structure under nano-scale CMOS technology, the nonlinearity caused by short channel effect from small feature size can be minimized. Then, another transconductor with pseudo-differential structures is proposed. The linearity is improved by mobility compensation techniques as the device size is scaled down to achieve high-speed operation. Short channel effects in the nano-scale technology are discussed and eliminated, and the results show superior performance even at high-speed operation. Finally, a transconductor with the specific target for ADSL2C application is discussed. A precise model is adopted to eliminate short channel effects and high linearity performance can thus be achieved. Chapter 3 focuses on the basic con
