Analysis, Modelling and Design of Analog and Mixed-Signal Integrated Circuits

Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit your valuable research outcomes to this Special Issue, titled “Analysis, Modelling and Design of Analog and Mixed-Signal Integrated Circuits”.

CMOS analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs) have made dramatic improvements over recent decades. The enormous contribution of many researchers and the ever-increasing demand for artificial intelligence (AI), self-driving vehicle mobile applications, such as vision AI, smartphone, and tablet computers, have led to the great commercial success of CMOS ICs. Ongoing progress in CMOS analog and mixed-signal IC technology, including circuit modeling and analysis, analog to digital/digital to analog converters, various driver and readout IC architectures, has allowed their application to expand rapidly to almost all industries. In addition to traditional, yet still important, applications, there is a new IC architecture and its implementation for emerging technologies which reflect recent research such as real-time image recognition for self-driving vehicle, imaging systems for artificial neural networks, computational bio-imaging, and so on. 

The aim of this Special Issue is to share and publish high-quality peer-reviewed papers in the area of CMOS analog and mixed-signal IC technology and its applications. The editorial board invites researchers to contribute to the field of high-performance IC technologies, including novel IC architectures and implementations, high-performance data converters, on-chip image or signal generation and processing, and a new IC dedicated to task-specific computational systems. Topics of this issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• CMOS image sensor architecture and circuit implementation;
• High-performance and/or low-power data converters;
• Low-power and small-sized analog of mixed-signal ICs;
• Imaging systems employing state-of-the-art CMOS image sensors.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
