Non-Linear Components for Mixed Circuits Analog Front-End

This paper presents the development of some frontend analog circuits for mixed signals systems. The paper proposes the use of externally linear, internally nonlinear analog circuits. Using this approach, analog area is greatly reduced, and circuits can be built on top of completely digital technologies. Experimental results in the analog and digital domain support the proposed approach to mixed circuits design.
