SIGNAL PROCESSING WITH ANALOG CIRCUIT
Chun Lo
Analog circuit design
Main disadvantage: low precision Due to mismatch in analog circuit components
such as transistors, resistors and capacitors e.g. Amplifiers: lower input signal dynamic
range Comparator: lower signal resolution
Transistors: lower accuracy in current mode DAC
Advantage: Less power consumption Possibly smaller area
Mismatch correction
By trimming device Larger device, layout technique in
component mismatch Autozeroing, correlated double sampling in
amplifiers Cost of extra area, power and design
complexity
By in herent programming elements Floating gate MOSFETs
First paper Floating Gates Transistors For Precision
Analog circuit Design: An Overview Srinivasan, Graham and Hasler
Second paper Analog Floating –Gate On chip Auditory
Sensing System Interfaces Hasler, Smith, Graham, Ellis and Anderson
First paper
Structure of Floating Gate MOSFET Programming floating gate transistors Programming precision Charge retention
Application examples of Floating Gate MOSFET Differential pairs DAC ADC
MOSFET
MOS Transistor Floating Gate MOSFET
The gate is completely surrounded by SiO2 No DC to ground Used in Flash memory, ROM
Programming FG-MOSFET
Setting the DC voltage Add or remove charge Mainly two methods
Fowler Nordheim tunneling As a global eraser for all floating gates
Hot electron injection Program each floating gate to the desired value
individually
Programming precision
What is the smallest drain current change
A single electron change results in an accuracy of or 12 bits

Charge Retention
Short term drift Observed immediately after programming Proportional to the amount of change that
is programmed into the floating gate Long term charge loss
Themionic emission Related to both temperature and time
Applications
Differential pair DAC ADC

Analog Signal Processing
Noise suppression
Main Idea: Attenuate the noise components
Speech Recognition
HMMs States, transition probabilities and Hidden states are words, output is audio
signal produced by speaker Recognition problem: what is the state of
the system
