Get up to speed on mixed-signal circuit design
Mixed-signal design (MSD) is currently performed in industry by a select few "gurus." While MSD techniques can be found scattered throughout hard-to-digest technical papers, it is difficult for someone new to the topic to get up to speed on the subject without the guidance of a mentor and the right environment in which to gain the relevant experience.
CMOS Mixed-Signal Circuit Design, Second Edition fills the gap in the technical literature by providing a tutorial presentation of MSD techniques and integrating homework problems, netlists, and simulation examples, all of which are available for download via the book's Web site at CMOSedu.com. Additional features of the Second Edition include:
Coverage of noise-shaping data converters (delta-sigma topologies)
Practical discussion of digital filtering and its uses in transistor-level circuit designs
Design of analog filters for both reconstruction and anti-aliasing
Transistor- and system-level design techniques and theory
Presentation of a topology for high-speed data conversion in nanometer CMOS
Complemented with practical examples and discussions, CMOS Mixed-Signal Circuit Design, Second Edition is an ideal textbook for graduate students in mixed-signal circuit design courses. It is also an equally valuable reference for professionals who want to improve their skills in this area.
Review
"...contains numerous worked-out examples...usable in formal courses..." (
Choice, Vol. 40, No. 5, January 2003)
"...recommended and should be purchased with volume 1." (E-Streams, Vol. 6, No. 5, May 2003)
Synopsis
Analog signal processing circuit blocks implemented in mixed-signal systems utilize more digital signal processing where the quality of the analog components can be reduced at the cost of digital system complexity. Discussing these design techniques from a circuit designer's point of view, CMOS is an advanced guide to mixed-signal circuit design that will bring designers rapidly up to speed. This new edition features additional examples and more, smaller chapters to make the information more accessible to graduate students as well as professionals who want to improve their skills in this area.
Synopsis
An important continuation to CMOS: Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation
The power of mixed-signal circuit designs, and perhaps the reason they are replacing analog-only designs in the implementation of analog interfaces, comes from the marriage of analog circuits with digital signal processing. This book builds on the fundamental material in the author's previous book, CMOS: Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation, to provide a solid textbook and reference for mixed-signal circuit design. The coverage is both practical and in-depth, integrating experimental, theoretical, and simulation examples to drive home the why and the how of doing mixed-signal circuit design. Some of the highlights of this book include:
* A practical/theoretical approach to mixed-signal circuit design with an emphasis on oversampling techniques
* An accessible and useful alternative to hard-to-digest technical papers without losing technical depth
* Coverage of delta-sigma data converters, custom analog and digital filter design, design with submicron CMOS processes, and practical at-the-bench deadbug prototyping techniques
* Hundreds of worked examples and questions covering all areas of mixed-signal circuit design
A helpful companion Web site, http://cmosedu.com, provides worked solutions to textbook problems, SPICE simulation netlist examples, and discussions concerning mixed-signal circuit design.
