Abstract
This special issue of the Springer Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing ALOG presents the selection of best papers from the Third IEEE Latin American Symposium on Circuits and Systems LASCAS 2012 The symposium a forum for discussion of the latest technical novelties on circuits and systems topics was held in Playa del Carmen Mexico from February 29 to March 2 2012112 papers from 20 countries and 3 continents were submitted to the conference 69 papers were accepted based on the reviews from international experts These contributions made up a highquality technical program covering a wide variety of subjects in the areas of analog and digital circuits and systems computer aided design modeling and simulation signal processing sensor systems highfrequency systems voltage references processor architectures and control theoryFrom the papers presented at the conference 12 papers were preselected for journal publication based on the evaluations of the Program Committee members and the corresponding session chairs After a thorough revision of the extended papers 7 papers were finally accepted for publication in this special issue These contributions are 1 an ultra low power consumption millimeterwave voltage controlled oscillator in a 65 nm CMOSSOI technology 2 a railtorail differential quasidigital converter for lowpower applications 3 analog sigmadelta modulation with opamp gain compensation for nanometer technologies 4 design of an integrated singleinput dualoutput 3switch buck converter based on sliding mode control 5 offset and gain calibration circuit for MIMISFET devices 6 parallel algorithm for evolvablebased boolean synthesis on GPUs 7 neural inverse optimal control applied to type 1 diabetes mellitus patientsWe thank the researchers from around the world who have chosen LASCAS 2012 for presenting their recent developments We are deeply thankful to the reviewers for their contribution to the creation of the LASCAS 2012 technical program and for their involvement in the revision of the selected papers for this special issue Finally we thank the session chairs who not only contributed to the successful development of the symposium but also helped in the selection of the best papers for journal publication
