Preface
ThisbookispartoftheAnalogCircuitDesignseriesandcontainscontributionsof
all 18 speakers of the 23rd workshop on Advances in Analog Circuit Design
(AACD). The local chairs were Jorge Guilherme (from Instituto Politécnico de
Tomar, Tomar) and Nuno Horta (from Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon). The
sponsorsofthe workshop this year have been SYNOPSYS,FCT—Fundação para
a Ciência e a Tecnologia, IST—Instituto Superior Técnico, IPT—Instituto
Politécnico de Tomar, IT—Instituto de Telecomunicações, and Turismo de
Lisboa.Theworkshop washeldat InstitutoSuperior Técnico inLisbon,Portugal,
in April 8–10, 2014.
The book comprises three parts, covering advanced analog and mixed-signal
circuit design fields that are considered highly important by the circuit design
community:
• High-Performance AD and DA Converters
• IC Design in Scaled Technologies
• Time-Domain Signal Processing
Each part contains six chapters from experts in the field.
TheaimoftheAACDworkshopistobringtogetheragroupofexpertdesigners
todiscussnewdevelopmentsandfutureoptions.Eachworkshopisfollowedbythe
publication of a book by Springer in their successful series of Analog Circuit
Design. This book is the 23rd in this series. The book series can be seen as a
referenceforallpeopleinvolvedinanalogandmixed-signaldesign.Thefulllistof
the previous books and topics in the series is given next.
We are confident that this book, like its predecessors, proves to be a valuable
contribution to our analog and mixed-signal circuit design community.
