A bit of history (diode)

Y. Li & Y. Lian Introduction Slide 16

Electronics is a young discipline (< 120 years).

In 1904, J.A. Fleming conceived the first electronic device, the

vacuum tube diode.

Next milestone (transistor)

Y. Li & Y. Lian Introduction Slide 17

In 1947, Shockley, Bardeen and Brattain invented the transistor

Beginning of integrated circuit

Slide 26 Y. Li & Y. Lian Introduction

Applications — Example1

Y. Li & Y. Lian Introduction Slide 27

High performance digital

• oscilloscopes rely on extremely

• high performance ADCs

Examples

• 20GSample/s, 8-bit ADC

• 10W Power dissipation

[poulton, ISSCC 2003]

Applications — Example2

Y. Li & Y. Lian Introduction Slide 28

• Low-cost, single chip solution require embedded data conversion

A typical cell phone contains：

• 2X 11-bit DAC, 176 MSamples/s

• 2X 9-bit ADC, 80 MSamples/s

[Mehta, ISSCC2005]
