Springer Research Perspectives On Dynamic Translinear And Log-Domain Circuits 2000 Edition by Wouter A. Serdijn Jan Mulder
The area of analog integrated circuits is facing some serious challenges due to the ongoing trends towards low supply voltages low power consumption and high-frequency operation. The situation is becoming even more complicated by the fact that many transfer functions have to be tunable or controllable. A promising approach to facing these challenges is given by the class of dynamic translinear circuits which are as a consequence receiving increasing interest. Several different names are used in literature: log-domain exponential state-space current-mode companding instantaneous companding tanh-domain sinh-domain polynomial state-space square-root domain and translinear filters. In fact all these groups are (overlapping) subclasses of the overall class of dynamic translinear circuits. Research Perspectives on Dynamic Translinear and Log-Domain Circuits is a compilation of research findings in this growing field. It comprises ten contributions coming from recognized `dynamic-translinear' researchers in Europe and North America. Research Perspectives on Dynamic Translinear and Log-Domain Circuits is an edited volume of original research.
