Why is Analog Important?
Naturally occurring signals are analog Analog circuits are required to amplify and condition the signal for further processing Performance of analog circuits often determine whether the chip works or not Examples Sensors and actuators (imagers, MEMS) Optical receiver, RF transceivers Microprocessor circuits (PLL, high-speed I/O, thermal sensor)
Dr. Cuong HuynhTelecommunications DepartmentHCMUT 7
Why Integrated?
What is Integrated Circuits ? Why Integrated ? Smaller size, reduced cost, increased performance. Motivate creativity and new applications: RFID, sensor . . . Idea of integration was in the late 1950s. Prediction of Gordon Moore (one of Intel founder).

Why Integrated?

Why CMOS?
The metaloxidesemiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) was first patented by Julius Edgar Lilienfeld in 1925, well before the invention of BJT. Due to the fabrication limitation, MOSFET has not been used until the early years of 1960s. CMOS (Complementary MOS p- and n-type device) was patented by Frank Wanlass in 1967, initiating a revolution in the semiconductor industry. CMOS initially dominates in the digital circuit/systems while others for analog. Why CMOS now ? Low cost, high integration and solution for SOC.

ANALOG IC DESIGN SKILLSET
Characteristics of Analog Integrated Circuit Design
Done at the circuits level Complexity is high Continues to provide challenges as technology evolves Demands a strong understanding of the principles, concepts and techniques Good designers generally have a good physics background Requires a good grasp of both modeling and technology Have a wide range of skills - breadth (analog only is rare) Be able to learn from failure Be able to use simulation correctly

ANALOG IC DESIGN SKILLSET
Implications of Advanced Technology on IC Design The good: Smaller geometries Smaller parasitics Higher transconductance Higher bandwidths The bad: Reduced voltages Smaller channel resistances (lower gain) More nonlinearity Deviation from square-law behavior The challenging: Increased substrate noise in mixed signal applications Threshold voltages are not scaling with power supply Reduced dynamic range Poor matching at minimum channel length

Complexity in Analog Design Analog design is normally done in a non-hierarchical manner and makes little use of repeated blocks. As a consequence, analog design can become quite complex and challenging.
