CMOS (2 Revised, Hardcover) - Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation

Winner of the Frederick Emmons Terman Award CMOS: Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation, Revised Second Edition covers the practical design of both analog and digital integrated circuits, offering a vital, contemporary view of a wide range of analog/digital circuit blocks, the BSIM model, data converter architectures, and much more. This edition takes a two-path approach to the topics: design techniques are developed for both long- and short-channel CMOS technologies and then compared. The results are multidimensional explanations that allow readers to gain deep insight into the design process. Features include: Updated materials to reflect CMOS technology's movement into nanometer sizes Discussions on phase- and delay-locked loops, mixed-signal circuits, data converters, and circuit noise More than 1,000 figures, 200 examples, and over 500 end-of-chapter problems In-depth coverage of both analog and digital circuit-level design techniques Real-world process parameters and design rules The book's Web site, CMOSedu.com, provides: solutions to the book's problems; additional homework problems without solutions; SPICE simulation examples using HSPICE, LTspice, and WinSpice; layout tools and examples for actually fabricating a chip; and videos to aid learningThis book covers the practical design of both analog and digital integrated circuits, offering a contemporary view of analog/digital circuit blocks, the BSIM model, and data converter architectures, among other areas. Design techniques are developed for both long- and short-channel complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technologies and then compared. The assumed background of the reader is knowledge of linear circuits, microelectronics, and digital logic design. Some 500 chapter problems are included, with solutions and additional homework on a companion web site. The web site also contains SPICE simulation examples, layout tools and examples for fabricating a chip, and videos. This edition is updated to reflect CMOS technology's movement into nanometer sizes. The book can be used in courses on VLSI or digital IC design, analog IC design, and advanced analog IC design. With discussion of future design paradigms and numerous design and layout examples, the book will also be useful to researchers and practicing engineers. Baker, an engineer, has written other books on circuit design. Annotation ⓒ2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
