Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The MIXDES conference series began in 1994 and has since been organized annually in major Polish cities. The conference has been held annually without any interruption and gathers participants from more than 25 countries. The MIXDES conference is one of the largest in this field in Central Europe, encompassing interdisciplinary research on design, modeling, simulation, testing, and manufacturing in various areas, such as micro- and nanoelectronics, semiconductors, sensors, actuators, biomedical applications, and power devices. The main organizer of all of these conferences is the Department of Microelectronics and Computer Science of the Technical University of Lodz, Poland, headed by Prof. Andrzej Napieralski.

This Special Issue presents extended versions of selected papers from MIXDES 2023—the 30th International Conference on Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems that will be held on 29 June–1 July 2023.

The Special Issue topics include the following:

  • Integrated circuits and microsystems;
  • Thermal issues in microelectronics;
  • Microelectronics technology and packaging;
  • Testing and reliability;
  • Power electronics;
  • Signal processing;
  • Embedded systems.

This paper presents the structure and principle of operation of two circuit configurations of self-limiting LC oscillators using monolithic positive second-generation current conveyors (CCII+s), that are implemented using Current-Feedback Operational Amplifiers (CFOAs) with an available compensation pin (Z). The proposed LC oscillators are synthesized using a systematic approach in the design of analog electronic circuits and can be considered as variants of the basic three-point oscillators, implemented using transistors (BJTs or FETs). Based on the analysis of the structure and electrical parameters of the CFOAs with a compensation pin (Z), electronic circuits of oscillators with two-stage amplifier blocks are synthesized. The characteristic equations and self-oscillation conditions are derived for the obtained analog circuits, and recommendations for designing circuits with arbitrary frequencies are defined. To verify the efficiency of the proposed LC oscillators, an experimental study is performed in the frequency range from 100 kHz to 10 MHz. The CFOAs AD844A with an external terminal z of the internal current conveyor are used as active elements. The obtained experimental results well match the results of the simulation modelling and the parameters based on the derived analytical expressions. The developed LC oscillators are intended to be used in schematic configurations of gas sensors based on surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonators. Full article
