This book contains selected contributions from the theses produced by the attendees of the second Master in Microelectronics and Systems series of workshops held at the University of Catania from May 2000 to January 2001. The book aims to provide an advanced source of training for graduates in electrical engineering and physics and to give comprehensive instruction in the emerging areas of microelectronics such as: CAD; microprocessor design; circuits for wireless communications; very-large-scale integrated circuits for intelligent systems; electronics for automotive systems. Links from microelectronic theory to the "real world" are provided by the involvement in the project of companies and government research groups connected with the area.
