A step-by-step guide to the design and analysis of CMOS operational amplifiers and comparators
This volume is a comprehensive text that offers a detailed treatment of the analysis and design principles of two of the most important components of analog metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) circuits, namely operational amplifiers (op-amps) and comparators. The book covers the physical operation of these components, their design procedures, and applications to analog MOS circuits-particularly those involving switched-capacitor circuits, and analog-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analog (D/A) converters. Roubik Gregorian, a leading authority in the field, gives circuit designers the technical knowledge they need to design high-performance op-amps and comparators suitable for most analog circuit applications. In this self-contained treatment, which is loosely based on his well-received 1986 book, Analog MOS Integrated Circuits for Signal Processing (coauthored with Gabor C. Temes), Gregorian reviews the required basics before advancing to state-of-the-art topics and problem-solving techniques. This valuable guide:
* Clearly explains configuration and performance limitation issues affecting the operation of CMOS op-amps and comparators
* Details advanced design procedures to improve performance
* Provides practical design examples suitable for a broad range of analog circuit applications
* Incorporates hundreds of illustrations into the text
* Concludes each chapter with problems and references to advanced topics, useful in textbook adoptions
Introduction to CMOS Op-Amps and Comparators is invaluable for analog and mixed-signal designers, for senior and graduate students in electrical engineering, and for anyone who would like to keep up with this essential technology.
Synopsis
Roubik Gregorian, a well-known industry expert, provides circuit designers with the technical knowledge they need to design high-performance op-amps and comparators suitable for most analog circuit applications. He covers analysis and design principles of these key components of analog metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) circuits, complete with physical operation, design procedures, and applications to analog MOS circuits.
Synopsis
Operationsverstarker (der meistverwendete Bestandteil aktiver Filter) und Komparatoren (nichtlineare Schaltkreise zur Signalverarbeitung) werden vor allem in der Signalverarbeitung und Telekommunikation eingesetzt. Dieses Buch beschaftigt sich mit einer besonderen Gruppe dieser Bauelemente, die auf der Grundlage von Metalloxid-Halbleitern konstruiert sind. Der Autor, ein bekannter Experte auf diesem Gebiet, erlautert detailliert Moglichkeiten und Grenzen von Operationsverstarkern und Komparatoren. Mit vielen praktischen Beispielen, Ubungsaufgaben fur Studenten und Losungsheft. (01/99)
