Memory, low power, ADC and DAC of great size
Maybe also designing new models for nanoscale technology

I quite agree renwl's viewpoint the topic which has relation with telecomunication chips will be hot,by the way UniqueICs seems to be a quite beautiful russian beauty.

my lab brother said the analog design will fall into three parts:

AD/DA
RF
Power management

I think it's reasonable.

I think some new area such as biomedicine chip will be hot. Communication such as transceiver, CT sigma delta ADC and so on. The high accurancy and high speed AD/DA will always be extended. Low voltage and low power circuits' research and PM are hotspot too.

How about current mode analog design, especially in the high frequency applications?

now maybe dc-dc, ldo regulator are hot
our lab and some other university are all in this domain.

Since the devices are now reduced in size, all the fields which result in smaller dimentions are considered hot. For example, in wireless technology, it is a large attempt to decrease the power needed for a device to the lowest degree. There are also other areas for example the conversion from analog to digital or digiral to analog. But may be more than all of the above, there is a new field which works on mixed signal systems, i.e. boards or systems in which analog and digital are integrated. I think the new generation of future boards and systems will be mixed.

Absolutely wrong.

The hottest topics are all of them via analog design automation and optimization via geometric programming. It has been seen performance increase around 20~30% against old designs using these techniques, and with a cheaper cost because the full design time decrease from weeks to hours.

Keep going fellas.

Dear Friend

I think, Design of Low-voltage, Low-power analog blocks will be in attention due to the development of portable equipments and also RFID has become in much interest. Wish you good luck.

low voltage / deep-submicro AD/DA/PLL
they suffer process limits such as leakage or modeling accurace

If analog circuit can be optimized by EDA tools, it will be interesting.
