˙論 題：Low Voltage Analog Circuit Techniques for Submicron CMOS
˙簡介：
Prof. Un-Ku Moon received B.S. from University of Washington, M.Eng.
from Cornell University, and Ph.D. from University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. He has been with the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Oregon State University, Corvallis, since 1998, where he is currently a Professor. Before joining Oregon State University, he was with Bell Laboratories from 1994 to 1998, and from 1988 to 1989. His research has been in the area of highly linear and tunable continuous-time filters, PLLs, CDRs, and data converters, with a recent focus in the ultra-low voltage analog circuits.
˙課程大綱
The analog-intensive building blocks such as the analog-to-digital converter is an important system interface circuit that is becoming a critical bottleneck in mixed-signal IC systems, as the transistor dimensions continually shrink in the state-of-the-art CMOS technology. This is because the transistors of smaller dimensions can tolerate only a proportionally smaller amount of voltage stress. This short course will review this low-voltage problem, summarize some of the well-known solutions currently in use (and problems associated with these solutions), and introduce recently developed circuit techniques. Some IC implementation results of oversampling/Nyquist analog-to-digital converters as well as analog filters which operate at low power supply voltages will be presented as possible design solutions for future low-voltage submicron CMOS processes.
