Introduction to the Special Issue on the 2008 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference

This special issue of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits is dedicated to the papers taken from the best of the Data Converters, RF, analog and wireless communications, wireline communications, and MEMS, imagers and displays sessions at the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in San Francisco, CA, in February 2008. The guest editors of this special issue would like to thank all the presenters at the conference from these sessions for making the selection process quite difficult, as the overall standard was quite high. We would also like to extend our appreciation to the selected authors for their timely and excellent submissions, and to those reviewers who helped ensure the papers met our high quality levels.
