Preface
Technological progress in the semiconductor industry has led to a revolution towards new advanced, miniaturized, intelligent, battery-operated and wireless electronic applications. The base of this still ongoing revolution, commonly known as Moore’s law, is the ability to manufacture ever decreasing transistor sizes onto a CMOS chip. In other words, the transistor density increases, leading to larger quantity of transistors which can be integrated onto the same single chip die area. As a consequence, more functionality can be integrated onto a single chip die, leading to Systems-on-Chip (SoC) and reducing the total system cost. Indeed, the cost of electronic applications depends in a inverse-proportional fashion on the degree of on-chip integration, which is the main drive for CMOS scaling. A SoC requires both analog and digital circuitry to be combined in order for it to be able to interact with the analog world. Nevertheless, it is usually processed in a native digital CMOS technology. These CMOS technologies are optimized for the integration of large-scale digital circuits, using very small transistors and low power supply voltages to reduce the power consumption. Beside for the purpose of decreasing the (dynamic) power consumption, the power supply voltage of deep-submicron CMOS technologies is also limited due to the physi
