This book presents a thorough and integrated treatment of key topics in the field of low-voltage, low-power, mixed-mode design for the manufacture of low-cost, high-performance, robust integrated circuits. It brings together innovative modelling, simulation and design techniques in CMOS, SOI, GaAs and BJT, optimally combining process, device and design knowledge of low-voltage, high-frequency systems, including smart sensors.

The book meets the needs of mixed-signal designers and reflects the rise in high-performance, ultra-low-power digital systems combined with wireless multimedia telecommunications. The text is supported throughout by realistic application examples from both industry and academia, and a wealth of references to literature including many Internet sources.

In addition to being an excellent reference work, the material is valuable to practising engineers and researchers in microelectronics, industrial and academic, as well as to senior students in this field.
