The talk will continue by analyzing the power efficiency of the analog signal processing by highlighting the presence of a thermodynam ic upper-bound which relates dynamic range\, bandwidth and power dissipati on. Alternative strategies to circumvent this limit will be discusses such as adaptivity\, passive time-variant signal processing and quantized anal og signal processing. In particular\, the latter represents a novel approa ch where the analog and digital domain are fused together in a more fluid scenario compared to traditional mixed-signal circuits. This operation lea ds to superior power efficiency and flexibility.\n\nThe effectiveness of t he proposed solutions will be demonstrated through simulations and measure ment results on different prototypes.\n\nAntonio Liscidini received the La urea (summa cum laude) and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from th e University of Pavia\, Pavia\, Italy\, in 2002 and 2006\, respectively.\n \nHe was a summer Intern with National Semiconductors\, Santa Clara\, CA\, USA\, in 2003\, studying poly phase filters and CMOS low-noise amplifiers .
