Analog design in the sub-threshold

Speaker: Vinod Menezes

Abstract

Sub-threshold analog design has made inroads into industrial class products.This is one area were winners can boast about the lowest Iq in the industry.One usually associates designing in the subthreshold as giving up performance, or giving up robustness, and hence are perceived as best avoided for industrial designs. This talk is about the key care about’s, pitfalls, approaches for analog design in the sub-threshold, while balancing performance and robustness.
