Very Large Scale Integration Design Techniques for Analogue and Digital Circuits

This book addresses both analog and digital circuit concepts from the point of view that the basic differences in the fundamental blocks are minimal. Integrated circuit design is presented as a systematic merging of a set of design rules, device models and process parameters in a manpower and area-efficient manner to develop a circuit which meets required electrical specifications. NMOS, CMOS, Bipolar, thick-film, and thin-film technologies are introduced in parallel. VLSI Design Techniques for Analog and Digital Circuits provides depth of coverage and rigor needed for transition from the classroom to the real world. The book emphasizes practical considerations such as economics, yield, and manufacturability. Extensive material is provided on timing and noise for digital circuits, modeling and simulation, and CAD tools.
