TITLE: Text on Analog VLSI Signal and Information Processing by Ismail and Fiez
Text on Analog VLSI Signal and Information Processingby Ismail and Fiez
(Contributed by Mohammed Ismail of Ohio State Univ.)
"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.
