Focusing on underlying principles rather than the details of current technologies that will soon be obsolete, Ayers (University of Connecticut) provides broad coverage of the field of digital integrated circuits for students interested in designing circuits and designing with integrated circuits. Stressing computer tools throughout, with SPICE examples and exercises in every chapter, the book covers principles of digital circuits and their attributes, including bipolar, MESFET, MOS, and BiCMOS circuits, and their manufacture, testing, interfacing, and packaging. Readers are assumed to have a core engineering science background. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Exponential improvement in functionality and performance of digital integrated circuits has revolutionized the way we live and work. The continued scaling down of MOS transistors has broadened the scope of use for circuit technology to the point that texts on the topic are generally lacking after a few years.
The second edition of Digital Integrated Circuits: Analysis and Design focuses on timeless principles with a modern interdisciplinary view that will serve integrated circuits engineers from all disciplines for years to come. Providing a revised instructional reference for engineers involved with Very Large Scale Integrated Circuit design and fabrication, this book delves into the dramatic advances in the field, including new applications and changes in the physics of operation made possible by relentless miniaturization.
This book was conceived in the versatile spirit of the field to bridge a void that had existed between books on transistor electronics and those covering VLSI design and fabrication as a separate topic. Like the first edition, this volume is a crucial link for integrated circuit engineers and those studying the field, supplying the cross-disciplinary connections they require for guidance in more advanced work.
For pedagogical reasons, the author uses SPICE level 1 computer simulation models but introduces BSIM models that are indispensable for VLSI design. This enables users to develop a strong and intuitive sense of device and circuit design by drawing direct connections between the hand analysis and the SPICE models.
With four new chapters, more than 200 new illustrations, numerous worked examples, case studies, and support provided on a dynamic website, this text significantly expands concepts presented in the first edition.
