From the Inside Flap:
The recent years have brought about a rapid evolution and advancement in analog integrated circuit technology. Reflecting these developments in both content and organization, this book offers the practicing engineer the most up-to-date treatment of the fundamental design principles, capabilities, and applications of monolithic integrated circuits. Throughout the volume, lengthy and detailed mathematical derivations are avoided wherever possible. Instead, the emphasis is squarely on the end result, the basic design philosophy leading up to it, and the underlying assumptions and trade-offs. Numerous examples illustrate the most effective modern practices and workable short-cuts. The first section of the book (chapters 1–3) familiarizes the reader with the physical structures, advantages, and limitations of monolithic components. Reviewed are the basic "tools" of analog IC design and fabrication—process technology, IC components, and the chip layout. Chapters 4–6 cover the basic "building blocks" or sub-circuits of analog IC design. Included here is a discussion of the use of MOS technology in analog and combined analog/digital LSI design. The final and main section, chapters 7–15, covers the entire field of analog integrated circuits by dividing them into functional categories and then examining each of these circuit classes separately. Individual chapters discuss operational amplifiers, wideband amplifiers, multipliers and modulators, oscillators and timers, voltage regulators, phase-locked loops, IC filters, and data conversion circuits. Here, particular emphasis is placed on recent developments in the field of analog circuits, especially in the areas of switched-capacitor filters, switching regulators, voltage-controlled oscillators, and high-resolution data conversion circuits. Bipolar and Mos Analog Integrated Circuit Design is an equally valuable reference for the IC designer and user alike. For the analog IC designer, it provides rigorous guidelines and examples, while for the user, it offers a detailed analysis of the various classes of circuits, their design philosophy, as well as their capabilities and limitations. When preceded by courses on solid-state circuits and semiconductor devices, this book will also make an excellent text for graduate-level courses on analog integrated circuits.
From the Back Cover:
FEEDBACK Fred D. Waldhauer This practical quide to feedback analysis and design promotes an intuitive understanding of feedback systems through establishing the mathematics of the feedback process and simplifying the schema for a clearer mental picture of the interactions. "Anticausal analysis" is used in study of feedback systems and applied to problems of circuit design. Includes numerous examples to bring out and clarify specific ideas. 651 pp. (0-471-05319-8) 1982 VLSI Fabrication Principles Silicon and Gallium Arsenide Sorab K. Ghandhi This farsighted work covers the principles underlying semiconductor devices and integrated circuits made from both silicon and gallium arsenide. Emphasis is on those processes which are especially useful for VLSI schemes, using extremely small, densely packed devices and components; however, many processes used for discrete devices and medium-density integrated circuits are also included since they are precursors to VLSI technology. Wherever possible, problems dealing with practical situations are included. 665 pp. (0-471-86833-7) 1983 VLSI System Design when and How to Design Very. Large-Scale Integrated Circuits Saburo Muroga This practical guide provides a complete and up-to-date picture of LSI/VLSI system design—from engineering aspects such as electronic circuit design, and logic design fabrication, to economic considerations such as design time, production volume yield, yield economy, and pricing. Avoiding unnecessary technical detail, this clear, concise treatment will prove equally valuable to engineers directly concerned with chip design and production as well as executives involved in product planning, manufacturing, and marketing. 496 pp. (0-471-86090-5) 1982
