Mixed Analog-Digital Vlsi Devices and Technology: An Introduction

The poor performance of many fabricated chips can often be traced to an inadequate understanding of device models and technology on the part of circuit designers. This book aims to fill that gap in knowledge, going beyond computer-simulation techniques to explain the critical nuances of mixed-signal VLSI devices. It discusses pitfalls in computer-aided analysis, device model parameter extraction and a wide variety of other practical issues.
