Abstract :
Three key system designers´ requirements for custom mixed analog-digital ICs are identified, and strategies for meeting them involving process, simulation, and cell libraries are given. Examples of circuits using a suitable process and cell library are shown. A complex data acquisition system implemented using (a) standard components and (b) two mixed analog-digital custom ICs is illustrated. The manufacturing advantages of the second solution are self-evident
