Download or read book Essential Knowledge for Transistor Level LSI Circuit Design written by Toru Nakura and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-09 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of the miscellaneous knowledge essential for transistor-level LSI circuit design, summarized as the issues that need to be considered in each design step. To design an LSI that actually functions and to be able to properly measure it, an extremely large amount of diverse, detailed knowledge is necessary. Even though one may read a textbook about an op-amp, for example, the op-amp circuit design may not actually be possible to complete in one’s CAD tools. The first half of this text explains important design issues such as the operating principles of CAD tools, including schematic entry, SPICE simulation, layout and verification, and RC extraction. Then, mistake-prone topics for many circuit design beginners, resulting from their lack of consideration of these subjects, are explained including IO buffers, noise, and problems due to the progress of miniaturization. Following these topics, basic but very specialized issues for LSI circuit measurement are explained including measurement devices and measurement techniques. Readers will have the simulated experience of the whole flow from top to bottom of circuit design and measurement. The book will be useful for newcomers to a lab or to new graduates who are assigned to a circuit design group but have little experience in circuit design. This published work is also ideal for those who have some experience in circuit design, to confirm and complement the knowledge that they already possess.

Download or read book Practical Guide to Organic Field Effect Transistor Circuit Design written by Antony Sou and published by . This book was released on 2016-04-18 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of organic electronics spans a very wide range of disciplines from physics and chemistry to hardware and software engineering. This makes the field of organic circuit design a daunting prospect full of intimidating complexities, yet to be exploited to its true potential. Small focused research groups also find it difficult to move beyond their usual boundaries and create systems-on-foil that are comparable with the established silicon world. This book has been written to address these issues and is intended for two main readerships: firstly, physics or materials researchers who have thus far designed circuits using only basic drawing software; secondly, experienced silicon CMOS VLSI design engineers who are already knowledgeable in the design of full custom transistor-level circuits but are not familiar with organic devices or thin-film transistor devices. In guiding the reader through the disparate and broad subject matters, a concise text has been written covering the physics and chemistry of the materials, the derivation of the transistor models, the software construction of the simulation compact models, and the engineering challenges of a right-first-time design flow, with notes and references to the current state-of-the-art advances and publications. Real-world examples of simulation models, circuit designs, fabricated samples, and measurements have also been given, demonstrating how the theory can be used in applications.

This book was released on 2014-04-25 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electrical and Electronic Engineering Design Series This university level Electrical Engineering text is for anyone who wants to know how to design electronic circuits. The present text is unusually accessible to readers who want to acquire the skills of electronic circuit design. We present a thorough foundation so that you can proceed to learn how to design any circuit. This text is different from other electronic circuit design texts, because we actually design circuits, and not just talk about them. And, we ask you to work hard doing experiments so that you acquire real world experience with commercially available electronic circuits. This is about real learning. Eight experiments are included that give life to the text's contents, and provide the reader with real world experience with making measurements, using instruments, and learning about all kinds of parts. We consider the experiments to be significant learning activities. Furthermore you will learn how to design and include in your electronic circuits multistage amplifiers, feedback amplifiers. operational amplifiers, tuned amplifiers, and oscillators, basic digital circuits, and vacuum tube circuits. Electronic circuits are designed in two basic forms. One form uses discrete parts placed on a printed circuit board. The second form is an integrated circuit placed on a silicon chip. There are two major classes of transistors in use today. BJT bipolar junction transistors and MOS field effect transistors. We leave the why of device physics to semiconductor texts. We explain the BJT transistor AC and DC properties. We show how to design current mirror and differential amplifier BJT analog building blocks that are widely used in complex BJT analog IC circuits. We explain resonant circuits so that we can show how to design elementary filters, tuned amplifiers, and oscillators. The MOS transistor AC and DC properties are explained. We show how to design, in integrated circuit format, current mirror and differential amplifier MOS analog building blocks. We show how to design an operational amplifier, an LC tuned circuit amplifier, an LC oscillator, a CMOS digital inverter, and a CMOS 2 input NAND gate. We explain feedback as Bode conceived it. We place the BJT and MOS amplifiers we designed into feedback structures, and apply Nyquist's Stability Theory to the amplifiers. And, feedback circuit design is illustrated by designs of one and two stage BJT feedback amplifiers, MOS voltage feedback amplifiers (VFA), and a BJT current feedback amplifier (CFA). Two basic types of op amp are the voltage feedback amplifier (VFA), and the current feedback amplifier (CFA).The useful ideal and realistic properties of VFA and CFA are made clear so that one can design circuits using them. The text includes extensive use of the Spice simulation program to produce frequency domain response plots of sinewave input signals, input DC voltage to output DC voltage transfer function plots, and output transient time domain response plots of modified input signal waveforms. The plots give life to the circuit equations so that you can “see” circuit performance. The text shows how you can leave the number crunching to Spice so that you can focus on your designs. We show how to write Spice programs that illustrate direct voltage and current (DC) analysis, alternating voltage and current (AC) analysis, and transient (TRAN) analysis. The presentations are eminently clear, because they are based on the policies assume nothing and nothing is obvious. The present text's contents are topics one actually uses when engaged in electronic circuit analysis and design.
Download or read book Uncertainty Propagation in Transistor level Statistical Circuit Analysis written by Qian Ying Tang and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's semiconductor technology, the size of a transistor is made smaller and smaller. One of the key challenges presently faced by the designers is the increasing impact of process variations to circuit performances. As a result, circuits designed using the traditional methods can deviate from the desired specifications after being manufactured. Therefore, new circuit design and characterization methodologies are required to handle these process variations. The problem of estimating the circuit performance at a transistor-level due to parameter uncertainties is examined. Uncertainty in circuit process and device parameters arises as a result of manufacturing variability. Since electrical circuits are, in general, complex and nonlinear systems, estimating their performances efficiently and accurately is very challenging. Existing methods on propagating uncertainties in circuit parameters to circuit performance include worst case corner analysis, Monte-Carlo simulations, response surface modeling, sensitivity analysis and unscented transformation. In this work, a novel interval based circuit simulation algorithm is proposed. An interval is a quantity consists of noise variables following Gaussian. The algorithm is developed for both Gaussian and non-Gaussian process variations. When the uncertainty in the circuit process and device parameters can be captured by correlated Gaussian distributions, the process/device parameters are first represented by the appropriate interval representations. An interval-valued SPICE simulator, in which all real number operations are replaced by interval operations, is used to simulate the circuit. The simulation results are therefore interval-values that can be used to extract performance statistics. In this approach, only one circuit simulation is required to obtain the best Gaussian distribution approximation for any circuit performance. The algorithm is tested on RC circuits and transistor circuits with excellent simulation accuracy (

Download or read book The Competitive Advantage of Knowledge Based Resources in the Semiconductor Industry written by Russell W. Wright and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-12 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1997. Knowledge and knowledge-based resources occupy critical positions in a company’s value chain. The theme of the book is that organizational distinctive competences are asymmetrical accumulations of knowledge-based resources relative to a firm's competitors. These accumulations of knowledge and capabilities enable and constrain a firm's ability to develop competences in specific areas such as new product development. Knowledge and capabilities are sources of competitive advantage to the extent that they are non-transferable and non-imitable The imitability of knowledge-based resources is a function of two conceptually distinct attributes: tacitness and tangibility. This book looks at how the evolution of industry knowledge influences new product strategies in successive product generations of the semiconductor industry. This book also makes some basic distinctions among the types of organizational resources that tend to generate unusual economic returns.
