Regarding latest trends in analog CMOS circuits

[garvind25]

Hi,

I am looking for the latest trends in analog CMOS circuits pls. I searched the internet but did not find any satisfactory results. I need these topic suggestions towards articles at to a local tech. blog. Since I am less into analog CMOS circuits, any suggestions will be gratefully acknowledged.

Thanks and Regards,
Arvind Gupta.

Power generation/ conversion/ distribution are always current and always in demand.

I wouldn't know what particular devices are used, but there's a drive toward mobility and miniaturization.

* Battery power

* wireless power transfer

* voltage step up or down

* battery charging and monitoring (to prevent fires and explosions)

* Solar power:

* convert voltage

* convert DC to AC

* match grid waveform

* Electric vehicles:

* power monitor

* battery charging/ discharging

* battery safety

* static charge prevention

1. Integrated DC-DC power converters based on switched cap.
2. RF (and now mmwave) integration in CMOS will always be an ongoing exercise.
3. Neural network accelerators.
4. Making circuits less susceptible to supply noise (more integration + lower supply --> need better PSRR performance)

Look up IRDS roadmap if you are interested in the prediction in trends at device level.
