Introduction to CMOS analog standard cell ASIC design

This study is directed toward the mixed-signal ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) system designer. The demand for mixed signal ASIC products continues to grow and places increased importance on reducing the design cycle time for the analog section of the chip. Modern generic digital CMOS technology is examined for use in analog integrated circuit design. Analog standard cells and design considerations are presented to assist in developing CMOS analog standard cell libraries for ASIC design
