چکیده
DEDICATION To my parents and my brother ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to gratefully acknowledge my advisor, Dr. Paul Hasler, for helping me during my stay at Gatech, providing an opportunity, guiding my research and reviewing this thesis. I also want to thank Dr. and Dr. Mark Smith for all the discussions we had and for reviewing this thesis. Many thanks also to the committee for the fruitful reviews. I would like to thank Guillermo Serrano for the wonderful office mate he has been during my stay at ICE-LAB. I had a very enjoyable time working with all the members of icelab specially I would like to thank the most important people in my life: my parents and my brother. Without their love, support and belief, I would not be able to become anywhere close to what I am today. So, thank you for everything.

Design of Gate-Driven Quasi Floating Bulk OTA-Based Gm–C Filter for PLL Applications
The advancement in the integrated circuit design has developed the demand for low voltage portable analog devices in the market. This demand has increased the requirement of the low-power RF transceiver. A low-power phase lock loop (PLL) is always desirable to fulfill the need for a low power RF transceiver. This paper deals with the designing of the low power transconductance- capacitance (Gm-...
متن کاملThe Differential Difference Operational Floating Amplifier: A New Block For Analog Signal Processing - Circuits and Systems II: Analog and Digital Signal Processing, IEEE Transactions on
A wide-range differential difference operational floating amplifier (DDOFA) is introduced. The DDOFA is a new block useful for continuous-time analog signal processing. The DDOFA is realized using a differential difference transconductor with large signal handling capability and a single input differential output current op-amp. The DDOFA forces two differential voltages to the same value and p...

Low voltage non-linear computational circuits useful for analog VLSI signal processing applications based on floating gate MOS transistors (FGMOSFETs) are presented. The FGMOS transistors operate in the saturation region. The variable equivalent threshold voltage (VT) of the FGMOS transistor is exploited in such a way to transform it to a simple MOSFET of zero VT. A bias circuit using a convent...

Floating-gate MOS transistors have been widely used in diverse analog and digital applications. One of these is as a charge sensitive device in sensors for pH measurement in solutions or using gates with metals like Pd or Pt for hydrogen sensing. Efforts are being made to monolithically integrate sensors together with controlling and signal processing electronics using standard technologies. Th...
متن کاملAdaptive Analog VLSI Signal Processing and Neural Networks
PREFACE While the digital world frantically pursues ever-faster clock speeds to satisfy demanding signal processing applications, a quiet revolution in analog computing has been brewing, which promises to do more with less — more sophisticated signal processing delivered at less power in a smaller space. Novel application of a digital memory technology, the floating-gate MOS-FET (used in EEPROM...
