The Art And Science Of Microelectronic Circuit Design

This book guides readers through the entire complex of interrelated theoretical and practical aspects of the end-to-end design and organization of production of silicon submicron integrated circuits. The discussion includes the theoretical foundations of the operation of field-effect- and bipolar transistors, the methods and peculiarities of the structural and schematic design, basic circuit-design and system-design engineering solutions for bipolar, CMOS, BiCMOS and TTL integrated circuits, standard design libraries, and typical design flows. Provides a detailed description of the physical mechanisms and processes taking place inside the basic elements of design libraries; Shows how to control processes based on CMOS and bipolar technologies, that obtain the necessary values of operational speed, power consumption, electrical and dynamic parameters, and noise immunity of a specific integrated circuit; Introduces a new logic design algorithm for CMOS integrated circuits with extremely low power consumption.
