Ozalevli, E: Tunable and reconfigurable circuits using

This book is a rich and excellent resource for ers, who are challenged with analog and mixed-signal VLSI issues due to the increased downscaling trend in the CMOS technology. Even though such a trend empowers the ers to achieve high element densities for VLSI circuits, it also requires less power consumption for low-power reconfigurable systems and imposes substantial challenges for analog and mixed-signal circuits. Traditional approaches such as calibration, trimming, and layout techniques are not cost-effective. Furthermore, employing such techniques to improve linearity, and circumvent noise and distortion issues in the analog domain proves to be a daunting task due to the lower supply voltage and increased parametric variations as a result of downscaling in the CMOS technology. This book provides a fresh and experimentally verified strategy based on floating-gate transistors to cope with existing challenges and provide tunability and reconfigurability for analog and mixed-signal circuits. This book will be useful to practicing engineers, academic researchers, and graduate students.
