Springer Analog Circuit Design: Sensors, Actuators and Power Drivers; Integrated Power Amplifiers from Wireline to RF; Very High Frequency Front Ends

Analog Circuit Design is based on the yearly Advances in Analog Circuit Design workshop. The aim of the workshop is to bring together designers of advanced analogue and RF circuits for the purpose of studying and discussing new possibilities and future developments in this field. Selected topics for AACD 2007 were: (1) Sensors, Actuators and Power Drivers for the Automotive and Industrial Environment; (2) Integrated PA's from Wireline to RF; (3) Very High Frequency Front Ends. From the Back Cover This book is part of the Analog Circuit Design series and contains the revised contributions of all speakers of the 16th AACD Workshop, which was organized by Jan Sevenhans of AMI Semiconductor and held in Oostende, Belgium on March 27-29, 2007. The book comprises 17 tutorial papers, divided in three chapters, each discussing a very relevant topic in present days analog design. Sensors, Actuators and Power Drivers for the Automotive and Industrial Environment - Chaired by Herman Casier, AMI Semiconductor Fellow, Belgium Integrated PA's from Wireline to RF - Chaired by Prof. Michiel Steyaert, Catholic University, Leuven Very High Frequency Front Ends - Chaired by Prof. Arthur van Roermund, Eindhoven University of Technology The aim of the AACD workshop is to bring together a group of expert designers to study and discuss new possibilities and future developments in the area of analog circuit design. The series provides a valuable overview of analog circuit design and related CAD, mainly in the fields of basic analog modules, mixed-signal electronics, AD and DA converters, RF systems and automotive electronics. It is a reference for whoever is engaged in these diciplines and wishes to keep abreast of the latest developments in the field. About the Author Prof. Arthur van Roermund and Prof. Michiel Steyaert have been editing the best papers from the yearly Advances in Analog Circuit Design workshop into a book for the past 5 years. Dr. Herman Casier is new to the editing trio, he brings excellent input from industry
