The application framework of the presented research work is stablished in the area of the low-power portable stand-alone devices. Considering as a paradigm application the implementation of future portable terminals for telecommunications, two opposed trends coexist that determine the need for an optimized energy management. An...

Welcome to the special issue of the International Journal of High Speed Electronics and Systems on "High-Speed Mixed-Signal Integrated Circuits". Silicon, in particular MOS silicon, has rapidly become the de facto technology for mixed-signal integrated circuit design due to the high levels of integration possible as device...

This book covers the design of next generation microprocessors in deep submicron CMOS technologies. The chapters in Design of High Performance Microprocessor Circuits were written by some of the world's leading technologists, designers, and researchers. All levels of system abstraction are covered, but the emphasis rests squarely...

With a design-centric approach, this textbook bridges the gap between fundamental analog electronic circuit textbooks and more advanced RF IC design texts. The major issues that must be taken into account when combining analog and digital circuit building blocks are covered, together with the key criteria and parameters that are used to...

Understand the theory, design and applications of the two principal candidates for the next mainstream semiconductor-industry device with this concise and clear guide to FD/UTB transistors. • Describes FD/SOI MOSFETs and 3-D FinFETs in detail • Covers short-channel effects, quantum-mechanical effects, applications of UTB devices to...

The third edition of Hodges and Jackson's Analysis and Design of Digital Integrated Circuits has been thoroughly revised and updated by a new co-author, Resve Saleh of the University of British Columbia. The new edition combines the approachability and concise nature of the Hodges and Jackson classic with a complete overhaul to...

The fundamental principle of piezotronics and piezo-phototronics were introduced by Wang in 2007 and 2010, respectively. Due to the polarization of ions in a crystal that has non-central symmetry in materials, such as the wurtzite structured ZnO, GaN and InN, a piezoelectric potential (piezopotential) is created in the crystal by applying a...

This book is dedicated to the analysis and design of analog CMOS nonlinear function synthesizer structures, based on original superior-order approximation functions. A variety of analog function synthesizer structures are discussed, based on accurate approximation functions. Readers will be enabled to implement numerous circuit functions with...

With this book you'll master 12C communications using Raspbian Linux in C++ and perform ADC and DAC experiments. You'll experiment with debounce buttons and switches using...
