Publisher's Synopsis
This graduate-level text covers the latest technology in VLSI. It focuses on the components of analogue VLSI design for high performance signal processing applications. There is equal emphasis on the principles of circuit and layout design and material on CMOS and BiCMOS building blocks is included. Each chapter provides basic introductory material, with examples of case studies at the circuit and/or systems level, while also highlighting major challenges to analogue circuit designers. Worked examples (from a realistic silicon chip) and end-of-chapter problems assist the learning process.
