Analog Microelectronic Circuit Design and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting the wide community of practicing electronic engineers and scientists working in industry, government, and academia to participate in the Special Issue on Analog Microelectronic Circuit Design and Applications. The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a collection of papers covering the broad spectrum of analog electronics, namely: monolithic device models, high performance analog circuits, radio-frequency communications and PLL circuits, and data converters. The goal is to provide the most up-to-date information in the field.

Over the years, the fundamentals of analog microelectronic circuit designs have evolved to include a wide range of topics and a broad range of practices. To encompass such a wide range of knowledge, this Issue should focus on the key concepts, models, and equations that enable design engineers to analyze, design, and predict the behaviour of analog large-scale circuits and systems. While design formulas and tables are welcomed, emphasis should be placed on the key concepts and theories underlying the processes.

This Special Issue’s papers should stress the fundamental theories behind professional applications and demonstrate examples to reinforce this point. Extensive development of theory and details of proofs should be omitted.

The compilation of this Issue will not been possible without the dedication and efforts of all the contributing authors. I wish to thank all of them in advance.

Topics of interest will include:

• CMOS device models
• Operational amplifiers
• Low-dropout regulators
• Sinusoidal oscillators
• Wideband amplifiers
• Analog phase-locked loop circuits
• Radio-frequency receivers
• Digital-to-analog converters

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.
