Cryptography and Public Key Infrastructure on the Internet provides a thorough overview of the subject. It explains how susceptible networks are to hacking and how cryptography can help. This comprehensive and practical guide covers:
* Public Key Infrastructures (PKIs); important when using cryptography in a large organisation, ...
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) continues to impact semiconductor manufacturing, semiconductor components and systems, as technologies scale from micro- to nano electronics. This book introduces the fundamentals of ESD, electrical overstress (EOS), electromagnetic interference (EMI), electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and latchup, as well as...
The observation by Gordon Moore in 1965 (now universally referred to as Moore’s law) that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit would double every couple of years has become a beacon that continues to drive the electronics industry. Integrated circuits have grown exponentially from the 30-transistor devices of 1965 to...
Design flow and circuit techniques of contemporary transceivers for multigigahertz mobile radio-frequency (RF) wireless applications are typically quite analog intensive and utilize process technologies that are incompatible with a digital baseband (DBB) and application processor (AP). Nowadays, the DBB and AP designs constantly migrate to...
The purpose of this series is to provide the layman with an introduction
to the fundamentals of installing, servicing, troubleshooting,
and repairing the various types of equipment used in residential and
light-commercial heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC)
systems. Consequently, it was written not only for the...
Reuse Methodology Manual for System-on-a-Chip Designs, Third Edition outlines a set of best practices for creating reusable designs for use in an SoC design methodology. These practices are based on the authors' experience in developing reusable designs, as well as the experience of design teams in many companies around the world....
The integrated circuit with each new generation has been characterized by increasing
functionality. In the 1980’s Very Large Scale Integrated Circuits (VLSIC) began to
emerge with transistor counts approaching one million plus per chip! The IC package
quickly became more than a “chip carrier”. Now the packaging...
Numerous miniaturized DNA microarray, DNA chip, Lab on a Chip and biosensor devices
have been developed and commercialized. Such devices are improving theway many important
genomic and proteomic analyses are performed in both research and clinical diagnostic
laboratories. The development of these technologies was enabled by a...
Mixed-mode switching circuits distinguish themselves from other circuits
by including switches that are either clocked externally or controlled
internally. These circuits have found broad applications in telecommunication
networks, instrumentation, and power electronic systems, to
name a few. It is the emergence of switched capacitor...
Organic semiconductors offer unique characteristics such as tunability of electronic properties via chemical synthesis, compatibility with mechanically flexible substrates, low-cost manufacturing, and facile integration with chemical and biological functionalities. These characteristics have prompted the application of organic semiconductors and...
This expanded and thoroughly revised edition of Thomas H. Lee's acclaimed guide to the design of gigahertz RF integrated circuits features a completely new chapter on the principles of wireless systems. The chapters on low-noise amplifiers, oscillators and phase noise have been significantly expanded as well. The chapter on architectures...
