The document is an introduction to analog circuit design. It discusses how CMOS technology has enabled low-cost, high-performance analog integrated circuits. It provides examples of applications that require analog circuits like processing natural signals, disk drive electronics, wireless receivers, and optical receivers. It notes that analog design is more difficult than digital design because it involves multi-dimensional tradeoffs between factors like speed, power, gain, and precision, and analog circuits are more sensitive to noise and interference. High-performance analog design also requires experience and intuition because modeling and simulation challenges remain.

B. Razavi Chapter 1.

z Introduction
In the past two decades, CMOS technology has rapidly embraced the field
of the analog integrated circuits, providing low-cost, high-performance
solutions and rising to dominate the market. While silicon bipolar and III-V
device still find niche applications, only CMOS processes have emerged as
a viable choice for the integration of today’s complex mixed-signal systems.

Why is analog design difficult?


z Whereas digital circuits entail primarily one trade-off between speed and
power dissipation, analog design must deal with a multi-dimensional trade-
off consisting of speed, power dissipation, gain, precision, supply voltage,
etc.
z With the speed and precision required in processing analog signals, analog
circuits are much more sensitive to noise, crosstalk, and other interferers
than are digital circuits.
z Second-order effects in devices influence the performance of analog
circuits much more heavily than that of digital circuits.
z The design of high-performance analog circuits can rarely be automated,
usually requiring that every device be “hand-crafted.”
z Despite tremendous progress, modeling and simulation of many effects in
analog circuits continue to pose difficulties, forcing the designers to draw
upon experience and intuition when analyzing the results of a simulation.
z Developed and characterized for digital applications, such technologies do
not easily lend themselves to analog design, requiring novel circuits and
architectures to achieve a high performance.
