Low-voltage/Low-power Integrated Circuits and Systems

About the Editors... Edgar Sanchez--Sinencio is a professor of electrical engineering at Texas A&M University and editor--in--chief of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II. He has received both the Darlington and Guillemin--Cauer awards from the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society. His main research interests concern solid--state circuits, including RF communication circuits. Dr. Sanchez--Sinencio is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers for his contributions on monolithic analog filters. Andreas G. Andreou is a professor of electrical and computer engineering and computer science at Johns Hopkins University. In both 1989 and 1991, Dr. Andreou received the Applied Physics Laboratory R. W. Hart Prize for his work on integrated circuits for space applications. In 1995 and again in 1997, he received the Myril B. Reed Best Paper Award for his work on the silicon retina and low--power integrated circuits. His research interests include electron devices, very large--scale integrated circuits, sensory communication, and physics of computation. He is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
