Synopsis

Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Introduction to Semiconductors and Junction Diodes Chapter 3: Introduction to Bipolar Junction Transistors Chapter 4: Bipolar Junction Transistor Saturation Logic Families Chapter 5: Current-Mode Logic Families Chapter 6: Introduction to Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors Chapter 7: MOSFET Logic Circuits Chapter 8: Regenerative Logic Circuits Chapter 9: Analog-Digital Data Converters Chapter 10: Semiconductor Memories and VLSI System Index PREFACE: Of all the new technologies that have evolved in the last few decades, perhaps the digital integrated circuit (IC) technology is the one that continues to experience a phenomenal growth in terms of overall circuit complexity, switching speed, and power dissipation. This growth has created a pivotal place for teaching digital electronics in the under-graduate electrical and computer engineering curricula. The vast amount of material arising from innovative circuit designs and newer device technologies, however, requires that the circuit analysis aspects of digital electronics be covered in a first course, separated from device design and chip layout considerations. While the chip level design and layout are important in the design of Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) systems and Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC), clear understanding of the performance characteristics of available devices is required for designers of systems using off the shelf ICs. Therefore, the pedagogical approach taken in this book is to cover the analysis and performance comparison of different gate level logic circuits. Since the logic design course covers the building block implementation of a digital system, it is appropriate that the digital electronics course consider the analysis aspects of these building blocks arising from different technologies, primarily at the circuit level. A strong back-ground in the analysis and comparative strengths of available technologies, from the circuits point of view, is required to make practical design trade-offs. For a systems architect interested in developing noncustomized systems by interconnecting standard ICs, such a background can be readily developed in a course without the chip or the physical level of design. Furthermore, with newer IC technologies appearing every few years, a thorough treatment cannot be given in a single course covering both the technologies and the circuit designs. Finally, the availability of computer-aided VLSI design tools still requires the user of these tools to choose the appropriate technology based on the requirements of a given application. Thus, the circuit level analysis provides an appreciation of the circuit design techniques and equips students for the efficient design of digital systems.
