International Journal of Analog Integrated Circuits

International Journal of Analog Integrated Circuits [2582-3620(e)] is a peer-reviewed hybrid open-access journal launched in 2015 covers all aspects of system-level design, analog design, simulation, and layout. Journal publishes both original research articles and review papers falling under the scope and focus of the journal. The journal aims to create an ever-lasting effect of the research and to promote the application of theories that are put forward by the researchers.
