Exploiting Floating Gate Transistor Properties In Analog And Mixed Signal Circuit Design

With the downscaling trend in CMOS technology, it has been possible to utilize the advantages of high element densities in VLSI circuits and systems. This trend has readily allowed digital circuits to predominate VLSI implementations due to their ease of scaling. However, high element density in integrated circuit technology has also entailed a decrease in the power consumption per functional circuit cell for the use of low-power and reconfigurable systems in portable equipment.
