Handbook of Digital CMOS Technology, Circuits, and Systems

This book provides a comprehensive reference for everything that has to do with digital circuits.  The author focuses equally on all levels of abstraction.  He tells a bottom-up story from the physics level to the finished product level. The aim is to provide a full account of the experience of designing, fabricating, understanding, and testing a microchip. The content is structured to be very accessible and self-contained, allowing readers with diverse backgrounds to read as much or as little of the book as needed. Beyond a basic foundation of mathematics and physics, the book makes no assumptions about prior knowledge. This allows someone new to the field to read the book from the beginning. It also means that someone using the book as a reference will be able to answer their questions without referring to any external sources.

Karim Abbas received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from UCLA in 2009. Since then he has been an assistant professor at Cairo University in Cairo, Egypt.  His main area of interest is the intersection of systems level design and digital circuits design.  He has been doing research on and teaching digital circuit design for nineteen years.
