Abstract :
Mixed analog-digital products complement digital processors in a wide range of systems. The development activities at European semiconductor companies and research institutes, both on A/D processes and design tools, are described. The processes include mixed A/D CMOS, high-voltage interface BiCMOS, and low-voltage A/D BiCMOS. Tools include analog circuit synthesis and library cells
