Art of Analog Layout, The  (English, Paperback, Hastings Alan)

For Electrical Engineering courses in analog layout or professional layout designers.

This text covers the issues involved in successfully laying out analog integrated circuits. Hastings provides clear guidance and does not stress theoretical physics or mathematical analysis of layouts. He emphasizes cross- sections of devices and carrier-based models of device operation as compared to the more common geometric and schematic representation of devices.

Salient Features

• NEW - Matching of resistors and capacitors-Includes causes of mismatch, particularly the hydrogen effect and package shift.
• NEW - MOS Transistors-Covers a brief history of floating gate devices, EPROM and EEPROM.
• NEW - Applications of MOS transistors-Expands information on failure mechanisms, including BVdss/Bvdii, SILC, NBTI/PTBI and GIDL and the difference between electrical and electrothermal SOA.
• User-friendly-Simplifies material without compromising detail or overwhelming the reader.
• Consideration of failure mechanisms as crucial to layout-Integrates further information into many chapters covering various devices.
• Standard bipolar, polygate CMOS and analog BiCMOS-Covers all three fundamental processes.
