Abstract :
Design of a large mixed analog/digital high-performance system on a silicon chip is a challenge for any IC designer, but it can become easily a nightmare. It is, therefore, very important to know precisely what analog/digital combination means for the circuit design and performance. In this contribution, we will review fundamentals of mixed design and discuss its merits and pitfalls.
