The Design of High-Performance Analog Circuits on Digital CMOS Chips

Devices available in digital oriented CMOS processes are reviewed, with emphasis on the various modes of operation of a standard transistor and their respective merits, and on additional specifications required to apply devices in analog circuits. Some basic compatible analog circuit techniques and their related tradeoffs are then surveyed by means of typical examples. The noisy environment due to cohabitation on the chip with digital circuits is briefly evoked.
