About AACD
The AACD workshops are a high-quality series of events held all over the world. They have been held annually since 1992 with the aim of bringing together a large group of people working at the forefront of analog circuit design. The workshops offer the opportunity to discuss new possibilities and future developments whilst networking with key figures from across the analog design community.
Typically, the workshop is held in a country/city where a sufficient number of experts are located, and/or can easily travel to. Proceedings are available at the workshop. Afterwards a book is edited of the revised proceedings. The program is made up by the program committee and the workshop is organized by the chairman of the local organization committee.
