Microelectronic Systems

This text provides a comprehensive coverage, from conception, through modelling to testing, of microelectronic systems. Bi-Polar and MOS design are covered, as are memory systems and field programmable gate arrays.

This text provides a comprehensive overview of the design, modelling and testing of microelectronic systems. After a brief introduction to the history and development of microelectronics, Bi-Polar and MOS Design (including CMOS and NMOS) are discussed. After coverage of memory systems and field programmable gate arrays it then goes on to explore all aspects of modelling, including VHDL, PSPICE and fault modelling. The third part looks at practical testing of systems, including a discussion of designing for testability and memory tests. The book finishes with a number of appendices providing vital reference material for MOS characteristics, IC fabrication, design rules, VHDL and PSPICE references, including a PSPICE tutorial.
