Digital Integrated Circuits

Mehr zum Buch

Exponential advancements in digital integrated circuits have transformed our daily lives and work. The ongoing miniaturization of MOS transistors has expanded circuit technology's applications, rendering many texts outdated within a few years. The second edition of this work emphasizes enduring principles through a modern interdisciplinary lens, catering to integrated circuit engineers across various fields for years to come. It serves as a revised instructional reference for those engaged in Very Large Scale Integrated Circuit design and fabrication, exploring significant advancements, new applications, and the evolving physics of operation driven by relentless miniaturization. This edition aims to fill the gap between books on transistor electronics and those focused solely on VLSI design and fabrication. Like its predecessor, it remains essential for integrated circuit engineers and students, providing vital cross-disciplinary connections for advanced work. For educational purposes, the author employs SPICE level 1 computer simulation models while also introducing BSIM models critical for VLSI design. This approach fosters a strong, intuitive understanding of device and circuit design by linking hand analysis with SPICE models. With four new chapters, over 200 new illustrations, numerous worked examples, case studies, and support from a dynamic website, this text greatly enhances the concepts introduced in the first edition
