F6: Advances in energy efficient analog design.

Analog Design covers a wide range of applications. In this forum we focus on trends in analog design that are driven by hot applications. The desire for better wireless sensor nodes has driven advances in nano-power design and modeling, for infrastructure, power, and data-conversion circuits. Burst mode operation for oscillators, and better power efficiency for sensor interface circuits are also desired. This forum starts with an overview of limits to power efficiency and then dives into various design challenges that have been met by novel solutions.
