Preface
This book is part of the Analog Circuit Design series and contains contributions
by all the speakers at the 27th workshop on Advances in Analog Circuit Design
(AACD).Theaimoftheworkshopwastobringtogetheragroupofexpertdesigners
todiscussnewdevelopmentsandfutureoptions.
The27thworkshopwasheldinEdinburgh,Scotland,fromMay14to16,2018.
ThelocalorganizerswereJedHurwitz(ADI),PaulLesso(CirrusLogic),JimBrown
(DialogSemiconductor),EmmaDixon(TechnologyScotland),andStephenTaylor
(TechnologyScotland).AnalogDevices,Cirrus Logic,andDialog Semiconductor
weretheplatinumsponsorsoftheevent.
Each AACD workshop is followed by the publication of a book by Springer,
which then becomes part of their successful series on Analog Circuit Design. A
full list of the previous books and topics covered in this series can be found on
subsequent pages. Each book can be seen as a reference work for students and
designersinterestedinadvancedanalogandmixed-signalcircuitdesign.
This book is the 27th in this series. It consists of three parts, each with six
chapters, that cover the following topics that are currently considered of high
importancebytheanalogandmixed-signalcircuitdesigncommunity:
• AnalogTechniquesforPowerConstrainedApplications
• SensorsforMobileDevices
• EnergyEfficientAmplifiersandDrivers
Weareconfidentthatthisbook,likeitspredecessors,willprovetobeavaluable
contributiontoouranalogandmixed-signalcircuitdesigncommunity.
