Rafael Vieira received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), University of Lisbon, Portugal, in 2019 and 2020, respectively. Since 2019, he has a research position at the Instituto de Telecomunicações, working on analog circuit design. At the same institutions, he is currently working toward the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering in …
This book presents a novel logarithmic conversion architecture based on cross-coupled inverter. An overview of the current state of the art of logarithmic converters is given where most conventional logarithmic analog-to-digital converter architectures are derived or adapted from linear analog-to-digital converter architectures, implying the use of analog building blocks such as amplifiers. The…
This book applies to the scientific area of electronic design automation (EDA) and addresses the automatic sizing of analog integrated circuits (ICs). Particularly, this book presents an approach to enhance a state-of-the-art layout-aware circuit-level optimizer (GENOM-POF), by embedding statistical knowledge from an automatically generated gradient model into the multi-objective multi-constrai…
