Aims

The aim of the subject consists in the deep study of the perspective trends of development in analogue technique. The aim of the new circuit principles is to obtain better parameters of analogue circuits by a circuit solution in the given technology and dimensions which are mostly determined by
the majority digital technology. This is the most pursued trend in current analoque integrated circuits.
