More About the Author

Russel Jacob (Jake) Baker was born in Ogden, Utah, on October 5, 1964. He received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, in 1986 and 1988. He received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Nevada, Reno in 1993.

From 1981 to 1987, he served in the United States Marine Corps Reserves. From 1985 to 1993, he worked for E. G. & G. Energy Measurements and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory designing nuclear diagnostic instrumentation for underground nuclear weapons tests at the Nevada test site. During this time he designed over 30 electronic and electro-optic instruments including high-speed (750 Mb/s) fiber-optic receiver/transmitters, PLLs, frame- and bit-syncs, data converters, streak-camera sweep circuits, micro-channel plate gating circuits, and analog oscilloscope electronics. From 1993 to 2000, he served on the faculty in the department of electrical engineering at the University of Idaho on the Boise State campus. In 2000, he joined a new electrical and computer engineering program at Boise State University, where he served as department chair from 2004 to 2007. At Boise State he helped establish graduate programs in electrical and computer engineering including, in 2006, the university's second PhD degree. Also, since 1993, he has consulted for various companies and laboratories including Amkor, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, Micron, Nascentric, Rendition, Sun, and Tower. His research interests lie in analog/mixed-signal integrated circuit design (combining analog circuit design with digital signal processing) and the design of memory/displays/imagers (arrays) in new and emerging fabrication technologies.

Jake holds over 200 granted or pending patents in integrated circuit design. Among his inventions is the K-Delta-1-Sigma modulator topology used in the Baker analog-to-digital converter. He is a member of the electrical engineering honor society Eta Kappa Nu, a licensed Professional Engineer, and the author of the books CMOS Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation, CMOS Mixed-Signal Circuit Design, and a coauthor of DRAM Circuit Design: Fundamental and High-Speed Topics. He received the 2000 Best Paper Award from the IEEE Power Electronics Society and the 2007 Frederick Emmons Terman Award.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, concrete, comprehensive, self-contained CMOS text, March 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: CMOS Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation (Hardcover)

The best of books say something important, and say it well. CMOS Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation by Baker, Li, and Boyce is such a book. Rather than an opinion-free text, it's insight mixed with experience; when something is important, they tell you it's important.

The style is very clear, the copious graphics help explain and cement the ideas, and the numerous worked exercises, which apply the theory just developed, allow the exposition to flow -- it makes sense, the transitions are smooth and well motivated, and there are a lot of very good ideas and clever circuits in the book.

In addition to design, layout, and simulation of digital, analog, and mixed signal circuits (including memory circuits, Schmitt Triggers, PLLs, A2Ds, D2As, and VCOs), there is enough background in device physics to justify the equations underlying the theory.

The exposition is exceptional. The figures are usually on the same or facing page so you can look at what's being described. Derivations are worked out with a wealth of schematics and small signal models. The book is centered on CMOS, so there's no need to translate bipolar designs from earlier classic texts like Gray and Meyer. The treatment is up to date, with recent research results included and explained.

The book is comprehensive, complete, self-contained, and practical; it's anchored in a real process, works with (but does not require) the LASI CAD software, and provides ready access to design information, from the inside front cover summaries to a chapter on extracting parameters from BSIM models for hand calculation through the process and design rules in the appendices.

The only significant omission is a description of metastability, and how to reduce its impact.

This book is a creation of care and craft. It is a joy to read and to review.

5.0 out of 5 stars None better for learning Analog/Digital CMOS Ckt design, April 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: CMOS Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation (Hardcover)

Get this book if you want to learn how to design CMOS integrated circuits! It comes with information on downloading free layout and design tools from the web for MS Windows. It integrates the topics of chip layout with analog, digital and mixed-mode design. The discussions are very clear and practical. The writing style is great: discuss a topic and then provide an example.
