Overview If you design cellular telephones, notebook computers, or other high-volume portable products, you know that the semiconductor industry has been working overtime to help you migrate your designs to low voltage and low power. These days, virtually any digital IC function you could want is available in a low-power 3V version.

This is becoming equally true in the analog world. The ICs and techniques developed for high-volume applications can now leverage the design of medium-volume industrial and medical instruments too. The same low-voltage A/D converter initially developed to read pen position in a PDA can also be used to measure glucose levels in a hand-held medical product.
