Parametric Analog Signal Amplification Applied to Nanoscale CMOS Technologies

This book is dedicated to the analysis of parametric amplification with special emphasis on the MOS discrete-time implementation.

This implementation is demonstrated by the presentation of several circuits where the MOS parametric amplifier cell is used: small gain amplifier, comparator with embedded pre-amplification, discrete-time mixer/IIR-Filter, and analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Experimental results are shown to validate the overall design technique.
