CMOS Time-Mode Circuits and Systems

Time-mode circuits where information is represented by time difference between digital events offer a viable and technology-friendly means to realize mixed-mode circuits and systems in nanometer complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technologies. Various architectures of time-based signal processing and design techniques of CMOS time-mode circuits have emerged; however an in-depth examination of the principles of time-based signal processing and design techniques of time-mode circuits has not been availableâuntil now. CMOS Time-Mode Circuits and Systems: Fundamentals and Applications is the first book to deliver a comprehensive treatment of CMOS time-mode circuits and systems. Featuring contributions from leading experts this authoritative text contains a rich collection of literature on time-mode circuits and systems. The book begins by presenting a critical comparison of voltage-mode current-mode and time-mode signaling for mixed-mode signal processing and then: Covers the fundamentals of time-mode signal processing such as voltage-to-time converters all-digital phase-locked loops and frequency synthesizers Investigates the performance characteristics architecture design techniques and implementation of time-to-digital converters Discusses time-mode delta-sigma-based analog-to-digital converters placing a great emphasis on time-mode quantizers Includes a detailed study of ultra-low-power integrated time-mode temperature measurement systems CMOS Time-Mode Circuits and Systems: Fundamentals and Applications provides a valuable reference for circuit design engineers hardware system engineers graduate students and others seeking to master this fast-evolving field. .
