Memories of an analog
magician's early days
at UCLA and Broadcom
W
hen I joined
the electrical
engineering
faculty at the
University of
California, Los Angeles (UCLA), in
1985, I had a dream. Now, my dream
was far less noble than Martin Luther
King's legendary "I Have a Dream"
speech to end racism in America in
1963. My dream stemmed from my
much more mundane work as an engineer at TRW in the early 1980s, prior to
joining UCLA, where I worked on the
design of broadband digital modems
for military satellite and radio communication systems. These modems
often occupied racks of equipment
due to the limited levels of integration
achievable in electronics during that
era. CMOS very-large-scale integration
(VLSI) was just beginning to emerge,
and Mead and Conway's seminal book
on the subject, Introduction to VLSI
Systems, had just been published.
With Moore's law scaling marching along nicely, it was not difficult
to envision a road map whereby digital circuits would scale sufficiently
to enable the high levels of integration of digital signal processing
(DSP) algorithms required in digital
modems. However, a huge impe--
diment still remained-what to do
about the analog circuits, which back
then were implemented using bipolar technology and were quite power
