Author Description

This text is the most complete book on the market for CMOS circuits. Aimed at junior/senior courses offered in electrical engineering and computer science, this book starts with CMOS processing, and then covers MOS transistor models, basic CMOS gates, interconnect effects, dynamic circuits, memory circuits, BiCMOS circuits, I/O circuits, VLSI design methodologies, low-power design techniques, design for manufacturability and design for testablility. This text provides rigourous treatment of basic design concepts with detailed examples. It typicaly addresses both the computer-aided analysis issues and the design issues form most of the circuit examples. Numerous SPICE simulation results are also provided for illustration of basic concepts. Through rigorous analysis of CMOS circuits in this text, students will be able to learn the fundamentals of CMOS VLSI design, which is the drivng force behind the development of advanced computer hardware.
