Hot Topic of Analog IC research?

best low power ic research

Let's discuss what are the hot topics of Analog IC design research.

 

[yearn]

hot topic in analog design

RF IC Design?
ADC and DAC Design?

power ic research

RF IC Design ,as i think

 

[borodenkov]

IMHO:

Mixed-signal chips: RF, analog and digital on one substrate. CMOS RF IC design (with on-chip conponents). High-performance low-power data converters.

Since SOC is very important nowadays, I think the implemantation of Active Inductor is a good topic for new project or discussion! Previously, I'm now doing Active L with LNA, and a lot of design motivations are exist and it's quite good! Try to ignore using passive inductor such as spiral or bonding wire as they have smaller&fixed L and Q values!

PM me if anyone would like to know more on my project! A post of discussion is also accpetable!

What comes next after 20 years of Spice?


So today the same story as Daisy and Berkeley Spice nearly 20 years ago?

Where is the real tool enhancement found. Is it only CPU speed to simulate? Does the analog systems on SOC grow faster than able to simulate? How many entry and verification tools from how many vendors in how many formats and how many versions on how many platform you have to running? And all for for a 200k$ mask run. If you spin once more you are out of the business!

[mitgrace]

Actually the Analog topic is wide , What do u need ?
Or what's job do you do ? That you will learn the different Analog Skill that I think

 

[icsrc]

"battery-powered RF, wireless IC"
that will certainly be a hot topic in the nearly future

 

[ccw27]

Low Power integrated WLAN, UWB and of course ADC

 

[andy1]

High speed data transmission, ADC, DAC.

 

[fletcher]

In analog era I think RF specially digital RF is the most important. Also, optoelectrnics are going to emerge in next years.

 

[CDRCDR]

digitally PLL based RF transceiver could be interesting in the near future because the CMOS technology is going to 90nm era.

 

[rongli]

I think is A/D&D/A.

 

[markty]

Nowadays, many many people talk about RF.

I am always wondering if a RFID card contain a RFIC? What is inside? Because i do not see the power supply outside.

 

[reltol1]

Analog computer, "Anacom".
Specific interface, for example, biomedical.
Or..., let's say, configurable analog circuits??

 

[yeewong_su]

Why you all no mention the power mangment?

 

[suns]

RF,power.power mangment is very useful.and many demand for power mangment.
