Nanoelectronic Mixed-Signal System Design 1st Edition

This is a must have book for all the students. It is very helpful especially for the Masters students. This book covers almost all the topics from basics to the recently invented FinFET, Graphene FET and memristor. This book alone gives a student what he wants in the area of VLSI and Mixed signal system design. It has covered all the technologies. Each chapter, with its references, guides the reader to numerous published papers on each topic for indepth knowledge. For research this is the best place to start from.

DISCLAIMER: I am a colleague and collaborator of the author. Still, I wouldn’t give high praises if I didn’t think the book was worth it.This is THE book for those (students as well as practicing engineers) that want to get up to speed with mixed-signal (analog and digital) IC design as practiced today, namely in the nanometer scale. It differs from other, older VLSI books in two aspects: 1) it covers both digital AND analog IC design (usually separate subjects) and 2) not only nanoCMOS but other state-of-the-art technologies (graphene, carbon nanotubes, memristors etc.) are illustrated.At nearly 800 letter-size pages, it is a reference and textbook into one. The text is lavishly illustrated with hundreds of figures (unfortunately in black and white – I’d be happy to see a color edition), tables and plots. There are 12 chapters, each with one hundred or more references at the end.The topics cover the entire spectrum of mixed-signal IC design: starting from general system description all the way to advanced topics such as design for excellence and metamodeling. A small sample of topics includes: application of nanoelectronic systems, parasitics, thermals and yield, oscillators and PLLs, analog/digital conversion, sensors, most currently used memory technologies, system design flows, system and circuit level simulation, process variation awareness and finally, design space exploration and optimization using surrogate modeling (metamodeling) techniques.This is one textbook that will remain current for years to come.

This book is a MUST for VLSI students, especially for mixed signal processing, but not limited to it. It discusses the most recent topics in VLSI from application point of view. It gives an in-depth idea for modeling in different platforms from Simscape, Simulink to SPICE. Various case studies have been considered while explaining the topics, along with their design. It has covered various process technologies from 180 nm to 45 nm, along with recent state-in-art topics like Memristor, FinFET, CNT and others. The AMS processing has been covered in details from different hierarchical level and each level has been analyzed in depth. For a research students, this book is a perfect place to start from. It gives all required idea about what is in current research and shows challenges and possible research areas. I have gone through this book and I found it very good.

Its a 800 pages book has everything you need to know about the Mixed signal and Nano-electronics.
