Systems for Analog and Mixed Signal Processing in Integrated Technology

In spite of the prevailing trend of all digital systems and many undoubted advantages of using digital systems instead of analog, hardware which communicates the real outside world remains exclusively analog. This analog part, which is a part of the overall mixed system, containing both analog and digital parts, has common name "analog-front end" (AFE). Electronic circuits contained in AFE will, therefore, remain an important part of most integrated systems. However, they present one of the bottlenecks in high performance design such as low power consumption, small chip area, low noise, low signal distortion, etc. Because analog circuits possess important inherent advantages in some cases, we expect further improvements in theirs design. Because of that reason, research of new and better analog electrical circuits (in IC design) will play an important role in the future. New and advanced systems on chip will continue to appear. One of the types of analog circuits that have been traditionally late in the development is that of electrical filters. In this paper we present several new ideas in developing analog filters.
