Book Description

Publication Date: December 10, 2008 | ISBN-10: 0470290269 | ISBN-13: 978-0470290262 | Edition: 2

Analog signal processing circuit blocks implemented in mixed-signal systems utilize more digital signal processing where the quality of the analog components can be reduced at the cost of digital system complexity. Discussing these design techniques from a circuit designer's point of view, CMOS is an advanced guide to mixed-signal circuit design that will bring designers rapidly up to speed. This new edition features additional examples and more, smaller chapters to make the information more accessible to graduate students as well as professionals who want to improve their skills in this area.

Get up to speed on mixed-signal circuit design

Mixed-signal design (MSD) is currently performed in industry by a select few "gurus." While MSD techniques can be found scattered throughout hard-to-digest technical papers, it is difficult for someone new to the topic to get up to speed on the subject without the guidance of a mentor and the right environment in which to gain the relevant experience.

CMOS Mixed-Signal Circuit Design, Second Edition fills the gap in the technical literature by providing a tutorial presentation of MSD techniques and integrating homework problems, netlists, and simulation examples, all of which are available for download via the book's Web site at CMOSedu.com. Additional features of the Second Edition include:

• Coverage of noise-shaping data converters (delta-sigma topologies)

• Practical discussion of digital filtering and its uses in transistor-level circuit designs

• Design of analog filters for both reconstruction and anti-aliasing

• Transistor- and system-level design techniques and theory

• Presentation of a topology for high-speed data conversion in nanometer CMOS

Complemented with practical examples and discussions, CMOS Mixed-Signal Circuit Design, Second Edition is an ideal textbook for graduate students in mixed-signal circuit design courses. It is also an equally valuable reference for professionals who want to improve their skills in this area.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent text for learning and for reference!, July 31, 2002

By 

Anna Gomm (Boise, ID United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: CMOS Mixed-Signal Circuit Design (Hardcover)

The book begins by covering basic data converter theory and includes methods for SPICE modeling of data converters. An important aspect to this coverage is that the metrics for evaluating data converters are explained clearly (this makes the book a great reference when wading through some of the spec sheets or journal articles covering data converters).

After the fundamentals of data converters are established, the text covers noise-shaping converters (including a review of some of the digital filtering concepts required to understand/implement these devices). This is one of the hottest topics in solid-state circuit design today, with journal articles appearing monthly on new topologies and uses for sigma-delta data converters. Very few textbooks are available that cover this topic, and it is great to have a book that teaches the noise-shaping concepts in such a straightforward manner.

There are a few chapters that cover implementation of data converters, including a very useful chapter on submicron CMOS circuit design. Rather than simply focus on the academic and `ideal' implementations of circuitry, this text takes a practical approach and recognizes that the real world is not perfect. This approach is seen throughout the text and gives a deeper appreciation for the specifications used to characterize converter performance, as well as the limitations with various circuit topologies.

In addition to data converters, there is a chapter on integrator-based CMOS filters (this is very applicable in today's mixed-signal CMOS designs), including filters that use the noise-shaping concepts discussed earlier.

Very few technical textbooks are as well thought as this one. From start to finish, the text is filled with practical examples that aid in the learning process. There are SPICE examples throughout the book, and the netlists will all run using WinSPICE (all netlists and WinSPICE are available for download ...). It is great to be able to play with these netlists and get a feel for how the circuits operate.

The final chapter in the book takes the concepts taught and shows real implementations of several circuits (on a breadboard and with hand-soldered circuits), including a noise-shaping modulator and a discrete analog integrator. The author proves that the concepts work with these implementations and discusses proper laboratory measurement and characterization techniques.

This book is a great teaching tool as a classroom text or as a self-study reference. The problems at the end of each chapter and the prototypes at the end of the book allow the reader to verify understanding, whether on paper or in the laboratory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on mixed-signal circuit design, September 24, 2002

By 

Charles Jiang (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: CMOS Mixed-Signal Circuit Design (Hardcover)

This is the best book I have found so far on CMOS mixed-signal circuit design. It is not only an excellent textbook for senior or graduate student to learn mixed-signal circuit design but also a "must have" reference book for circuit designers doing analog/mixed-signal design. The book presents not only the therectical background for data converter using SPICE modeling approach, but also the practical considerations for implementing data converters at the circuit level. The materials it covers about submicron CMOS circuit design has provided reader with necessary background and techniques (which are very practical) for transistor level design like no other analog textbook you can find.

This review is from: CMOS: Mixed-Signal Circuit Design, Second Edition (Hardcover)

If you want to learn how to use SPICE to simulate mixed mode systems then this book is a great resource. The author does not provide step by step instructions. Instead the author provides a large set of examples to learn from. The examples mainly cover topics like switched capacitor analog filters, digital filters, analog to digital converters and digital to analog converters. You can use either Cadence IC51, Cadence IC61 or LTspice versions of SPICE as examples are provided for all three versions.
