Call for Papers:  Special Section on Analog Circuit Techniques and Related
Topics

  The Institute of Electronics Information and Communication Engineers
(IEICE) Transactions on Fundamentals announces a special section on "Analog
Circuit Techniques and Related Topics" to be published in February 2016. 
  Today's development of LSI technology has brought drastic improvement in
wireline & wireless network communication, and its scope is still expanding
including living, medical and green technologies. For more evolutional
advances, it is essential to combine digital and analog parts, where digital
parts operate at high speed and efficiency, and analog parts realize high
performance sensing and various communication functions with both compact
area and low power consumption. The key factors of these technologies are to
compensate analog mismatch with digital correction system or to control
digital circuit performance with analog circuit techniques. 
  In addition, power management blocks are increasing its presence along
with recent ground swell of ecological awareness. Sensing LSIs operating
with nano-watt power dissipation make it much more important to control
leakage current. System level optimization under various constrains such as
power dissipation, operating speed and occupied area is also important with
circuit level techniques.
  It is amazing that millimeter wave & terahertz circuits have been
fabricated by CMOS technology. This fact is a result of development of
device modeling and characterization, and its importance is still increasing
more and more today.  Furthermore, for the reliable analog circuit design,
we have to find the method for utilization of the knowhow database.
  As described above, a wide range of topics are related to the analog
circuit design. It is the aim of this Special Section to present and discuss
the latest research results of analog/mixed signal circuit techniques and to
study future directions for analog/mixed signal circuits. Topics of interest
include but are not limited to:

- Low-voltage/low-power analog circuits, analog circuits for MEMS,
- Mixed analog and digital systems, circuits, and LSI technologies, circuits
compensation techniques, 
  noise analysis techniques, 
- MMW-band and RF-Band analog circuits, analog circuits for
telecommunication, 
  analog circuits for intelligent systems 
- Analog signal processing circuits (opamps, amplifiers, comparators, filter
circuits, oscillators, multipliers) 
- Reference voltage/current sources 
- Sensor circuits, A-D converters, D-A converters, PLLs, delta-sigma
modulators 
- Power management circuits, DC-DC converters, AC-DC converters, energy
harvesting circuits, 
  wireless power supply 
- Analog circuit techniques in digital circuits (memories, micro-processors,
DSPs, etc.) 
- Nonlinear electronic circuits, chaotic circuits, neural network circuits 
- Device modeling and simulation techniques for analog circuits 
- CAD for analog circuits design 
- Analog layout CAD 
- Behavior modeling and system-level simulation techniques 
- Analog circuits utilizing beyond CMOS devices 
- Other related analog circuits techniques
