Analog Circuit Design in Nanoscale CMOS Technologies

Lanny L. Lewyn, Trond Ytterdal, Carsten Wulff, Kenneth Martin
2009 Proceedings of the IEEE  
Classic analog designs are being replaced by digital methods, using nanoscale digital devices, for calibrating circuits, overcoming device mismatches, and reducing bias and temperature dependence.  ...  Analog circuit simulation and verification techniques have never been proper substitutes for good analog system, circuit, and physical layout design.  ...  Optimizing MOSFETs is challenging due to conflicting device performance requirements for digital and analog circuits. For digital circuits, the I on =I off tradeoff dominates.  ...

Logic synthesis in a nutshell [chapter]

Jie-Hong (Roland) Jiang, Srinivas Devadas
2009 Electronic Design Automation  
About This Chapter What is logic synthesis? As the name itself suggests, logic synthesis is the process of automatic production of logic components, in particular digital circuits.  ...  It is a subject about how to abstract and represent logic circuits, how to manipulate and transform them, and how to analyze and optimize them. Why does logic synthesis matter?  ...  In calculating wire delays, timing data arising from the parasitic capacitances and resistances of wires can be estimated through simulation or can be back-annotated from the final circuit layout.  ...
