"Analog VLSI Signal and Information Processing" (ISBN 0-07- 032386-0) by M. Ismail and T. Fiez is now available from McGraw- Hill Publishers at 800-338-3987. This book presents the first comprehensive treatment of analog VLSI design for signal and information processing applications by blending the basic design concepts of both traditional and con- temporary analog VLSI. The breadth and level of details of topics covered are unique, reflecting the birth of a new generation of analog VLSI circuits. Each chapter provides basic introductory material in a tutorial manner, with examples or case studies at the circuit and/or system level. Outstanding features of the text include: * coverage of the latest in analog VLSI putting students and practicing engineers on the cutting edge of this excitig field. * thorough coverage of topics unique to this book including low- voltage, BiCMOS, current-mode and neural information processing, oversampled data converters, statistical diesign, analog testa- bility, analog CAD, analog layout, and analog VLSI interconnets. * avoids lengthy coverage of device physics and IC fabrication and goes straight to the design and applications of analog VLSI circuits. * extensive use of SPICE in numerous examples and problem sets. * worked examples (from a realistic silicon chip) and end-of-chapter problems assist reader comprehension. * an instructor's manual containing a complete listing of problem solutions and SPICE netlists.
