Technology scaling has enabled low-power operations in digital integrated circuits. Therefore, the trend to move analog-to-digital operations upstream to allow…
In zero-crossing based circuits (ZCBC), op-amps in pipelined ADCs are replaced with zero-crossing detectors (ZCDs). The closed-loop feedback provided by…
There is an ever-increasing demand for high resolution and high accuracy in A/D converters in communication systems. In order to…
Most current ultrasound imaging systems use piezoelectric materials for the ultrasound transducer. The recent development of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) allowed…
Technology scaling poses challenges in designing analog circuits because of the decrease in intrinsic gain and reduced swing. An alternative…
Wireless communication technology is rapidly advancing, and new wireless applications are continuously developed. Figure 1 shows each application and the…
The Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasound Transducer (CMUT) is an alternative to traditional piezoelectric transducers. The CMUT technology provides an opportunity for…
Intracranial pressure (ICP) is a key factor in monitoring a patient’s cerebrovascular state. However, current ICP measurement modalities are highly…
Analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, with a particular emphasis in data conversion circuits in scaled CMOS.
The Center for Integrated Circuits and Systems (CICS) at MIT, established in early 1998, is an industrial consortium created to…
