EMC-aware analog integrated circuit design is domain which is continuously gaining in importance

Paradoxically, literature describing and solving EMC problems in integrated circuits is not widely spread: most EMC-related works describe what should be done outside the integrated circuit (like shielding, etc.). Conversely, this research looks at how EMC incompatibilities can be tackled on-chip

The structure of the book explains how to identify and solve EMC problems in output stages, input stages and power supply terminals by means of practical design cases

The design cases described in this work have been validated with measurements and/or simulations

Last but not least, stressing the first point in this list, the authors strongly believe that EMC problems will keep on increasing in the future
