Scope: This is a thorough and integrated treatment of the key topics
currently emerging in low-voltage, low-power, mixed-mode design for the
manufacture of low cost but high performance, robust ICs. It brings 
together innovative and realistic modelling, simulation and design 
techniques in CMOS, SOI, GaAs and BJT, optimally combining process,
device and design knowledge of low-voltage, HF systems, including smart
sensors. The book meets the needs of mixed-signal designers and reflects
the rise of ultra-low-power digital systems combined with wireless 
telecommunications. The text is supported throughout by realistic 
application examples and a wealth of references (including many Internet
resources). The book also features 656 figures, 102 tables and 560
explicit equations.

  "It is the merit of this book to assemble an impressive collection
   of up-to-date and original tutorial contributions from industry and
   university specialists spanning the whole hierarchy of 
   microelectronics"  from the Foreword by Prof Eric A Vittoz, CSEM.
