Analog MOS integrated circuits-certain new ideas, trends, and obstacles

Possible directions for analog MOS IC research and development are discussed. Although many references to recent work are provided, no comprehensive review of the state of the art is attempted. Rather, the emphasis is selectively on certain current trends, as well as ideas that, in the opinion of the author, show promise for the future. A number of applications are considered, including artificial intelligence.
