Description
A revised guide to the theory and implementation of CMOS analog and digital IC design
The fourth edition of CMOS: Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation is an updated guide to the practical design of both analog and digital integrated circuits. The author-a noted expert on the topic-offers a contemporary review of a wide range of analog/digital circuit blocks including: phase-locked-loops, delta-sigma sensing circuits, voltage/current references, op-amps, the design of data converters, and switching power supplies.
CMOS includes discussions that detail the trade-offs and considerations when designing at the transistor-level. The companion website contains numerous examples for many computer-aided design (CAD) tools. Using the website enables readers to recreate, modify, or simulate the design examples presented throughout the book. In addition, the author includes hundreds of end-of-chapter problems to enhance understanding of the content presented. This newly revised edition:
* Provides in-depth coverage of both analog and digital transistor-level design techniques
* Discusses the design of phase- and delay-locked loops, mixed-signal circuits, data converters, and circuit noise
* Explores real-world process parameters, design rules, and layout examples
* Contains a new chapter on Power Electronics
Written for students in electrical and computer engineering and professionals in the field, the fourth edition of CMOS: Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation is a practical guide to understanding analog and digital transistor-level design theory and techniques.
