Winner of the Frederick Emmons Terman Award

CMOS: Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation, Revised Second Edition covers the practical design of both analog and digital integrated circuits, offering a vital, contemporary view of a wide range of analog/digital circuit blocks, the BSIM model, data converter architectures, and much more. This edition takes a two-path approach to the topics: design techniques are developed for both long- and short-channel CMOS technologies and then compared. The results are multidimensional explanations that allow readers to gain deep insight into the design process. Features include:

• Updated materials to reflect CMOS technology's movement into nanometer sizes
• Discussions on phase- and delay-locked loops, mixed-signal circuits, data converters, and circuit noise
• More than 1,000 figures, 200 examples, and over 500 end-of-chapter problems
• In-depth coverage of both analog and digital circuit-level design techniques
• Real-world process parameters and design rules

The book's Web site, CMOSedu.com, provides: solutions to the book's problems; additional homework problems without solutions; SPICE simulation examples using HSPICE, LTspice, and WinSpice; layout tools and examples for actually fabricating a chip; and videos to aid learning

Editorial Reviews

Review

"…this is a worthwhile and practical reference that will hold you for those next 25 years of CMOS challenges." (Electronic Design, February 15, 2008)

"I recommend the book for use in entry-level digital and analog circuit design classes." (IEEE Circuits & Devices)

"...provides a comprehensive guide to designing CMOS ICs...by using the software, the book becomes a truly interactive learning experience." (Electronic Design Online)

"…offering a vital contemporary view of a wide range of analog/digital circuit blocks, the BSIM model, data converter architectures, and much more." (IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society Newsletter)

From the Back Cover

Praise for
CMOS: Circuit Design, Layout, and SimulationRevised Second Edition
from the Technical Reviewers

"A refreshing industrial flavor. Design concepts are presented as they are needed for 'just-in-time' learning. Simulating and designing circuits using SPICE is emphasized with literally hundreds of examples. Very few textbooks contain as much detail as this one. Highly recommended!"
—Paul M. Furth, New Mexico State University

"This book builds a solid knowledge of CMOS circuit design from the ground up. With coverage of process integration, layout, analog and digital models, noise mechanisms, memory circuits, references, amplifiers, PLLs/DLLs, dynamic circuits, and data converters, the text is an excellent reference for both experienced and novice designers alike."
—Tyler J. Gomm, Design Engineer, Micron Technology, Inc.

"The Second Edition builds upon the success of the first with new chapters that cover additional material such as oversampled converters and non-volatile memories. This is becoming the de facto standard textbook to have on every analog and mixed-signal designer's bookshelf."
—Joe Walsh, Design Engineer, AMI Semiconductor

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 Great book for practical purposes, January 20, 2009

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

I think that this is probably the best book a circuits designer could get. I don't think is a very good book for learning the ABCs of analog IC design, but it is definitively a great book for experienced people that need to get their "hands-on" circuit design.

The longer I have this book the more frequently I come back to it. While it is true as some reviewers say that some aspects are relatively shallow there is a wealth of insight in this book that will help you actually meet design constraints. I can't say how easy it is to learn the basics from this book because I was already familiar with the core of the topics in the book when I purchased it. But if you have some particular circuit you are working on there is a good chance this book will have something useful to say.

Got the book without a hitch. THe second edition, though thinner, have more content. It was thinner due to type of paper used. Excellent book, though not to be used for undergraduate course as one reviewer pointed out.
