1. Analog Integrated Circuit Design

Author/s: Tony Chan, Carusone David A. Johns, Kenneth W. Martin

Publisher: Wiley

This book strives to quash the notion that the design and test of high-performance analog circuits are “mys-tical arts.” Whereas digital design is relatively systematic, analog design appears to be much more based uponintuition and experience.

2. Analog Circuits

Author/s: Yuping Wu

Publisher: InTech

The invariable motif for analog design is to explore the new circuit topologies, architectures and CAD technologies to overcome the design challenges coming from the new applications and new fabrication technologies. In this book, a new architecture for a SAR ADC is proposed to eliminate the process mismatches and minimize the errors. A collection of DG-MOSFET based analog/RFICs present the excellent performance; the automated system for a passive filter circuits design is presented with the local searching engaging; interval analysis is used to solve some problems for linear and nonlinear analog circuits and a symbolic method is proposed to solve the testability problem.

3. CMOS Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation (3rd Edition)

Author/s: Phillip E. Allen, Douglas R. Holberg

Publisher: Oxford

The Third Edition of the book 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 including: phase-locked-loops, delta-sigma sensing circuits, voltage/current references, op-amps, the design of data converters, and much more. Regardless of one's integrated circuit (IC) design skill level, this book allows readers to experience both the theory behind, and the hands-on implementation of, complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) IC design via detailed derivations, discussions, and hundreds of design, layout, and simulation examples.


4. Analog Integrated Circuits for Communication: Principles, Simulation and Design

Author/s: Donald O. Pederson, Kartikeya Mayaram

Publisher: Springer

Analog Integrated Circuits for Communication: Principles, Simulation and Design, Second Edition covers the analysis and design of nonlinear analog integrated circuits that form the basis of present-day communication systems. Both bipolar and MOS transistor circuits are analyzed and several numerical examples are used to illustrate the analysis and design techniques developed in this book. Especially unique to this work is the tight coupling between the first-order circuit analysis and circuit simulation results. Extensive use has been made of the public domain circuit simulator Spice, to verify the results of first-order analyses, and for detailed simulations with complex device models.

5. Analysis and Design of Analog Integrated Circuits

Author/s: Paul R. Gray, Paul J. Hurst, Stephen H. Lewis, Robert G. Meyer

Publisher: Wiley

This is the only comprehensive book in the market for engineers that covers the design of CMOS and bipolar analog integrated circuits. The fifth edition retains its completeness and updates the coverage of bipolar and CMOS circuits.

A thorough analysis of a new low-voltage bipolar operational amplifier has been added to Chapters 6, 7, 9, and 11. Chapter 12 has been updated to include a fully differential folded cascode operational amplifier example. With its streamlined and up-to-date coverage, more engineers will turn to this resource to explore key concepts in the field.

10 Technologies To Be Thankful For

From wearables and 3D printing to smart home innovations and intelligent transportation, the 2015 tech market has given us lots to be thankful for. To kick off Thanksgiving in the US, we’ve pulled together a top 10 list of gadgets and technologies from the past year that have, or will have, a positive impact on humanity.

1. Supercomputers: Supercomputers have helped us make some great strides in healthcare. For example, teams from UC Berkeley and the University of California San Diego used the supercomputing resources of the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center to simulate how ultrasounds and tiny bubbles injected into the bloodstream might break up blood clots, limiting the damage caused by a stroke in its first hours.
2. 3D Printing: 3D printing isn’t just millennial makers. In fact, its applications are very promising and ever-evolving across many industries, including healthcare, education, and even fashion. Imagine how much more fun science and math might have been in high school way back when had the charts, graphs and models been 3D printed.
3. Intelligent Transportation: Google is not the only name in the driverless car game. In fact, automakers including Audi, BMW and Volvo have all tossed their hats in the ring to create intelligent transportation solutions, and the ante was upped even more when Apple followed suit.
4. Smart Home Appliances: The smart home landscape continues to take off, with new products emerging often. While lighting remains the gateway product, the possibilities extend to securing and operating every room and appliance in the house.
5. Biometric Authentication: You don’t have to work in finance to know that money is complex, and so securing it goes well beyond a typical text-based password. Biometric authentication for mobile payments will continue to diversify beyond fingerprints to things like facial recognition, and innovations will continue to be a result of partnerships, like the one between Accenture and Visa.
6. Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR): Twenty-first century medicine is far from traditional — everything is laced with technology. AR/VR has offered healthcare professionals alternative options for surgical training, therapy, and even stroke rehabilitation.
7. Artificial Intelligence: Robotics have come a long way since Rosie, the Jetson’s maid. AI has made its mark on education by offering students an opportunity to think critically and creatively in an interactive environment. It has also made an impact in medicine, where nanorobots are used for surgical procedures, search and safety, and food safety.
8. Wearables: Fitness trackers kicked off the wearable fad, but they only scratch the surface of possibility with wearables. The landscape continues to evolve as consumers grow more comfortable interacting with technology that’s less visible. The technology will grow more sophisticated as more data is collected about the user experience across devices.
9. Application-Powered Technology: As tech innovations become more and more invisible, apps to power them become more necessary. Wearables and other IoT devices almost all have companion apps that serve as the main command center, so that if for some reason a rule or setting fails, there’s a main dashboard to update or reset functionality.
10. Data Storage Solutions: Devices aren’t the only technology pressured to change over time. As more devices emerge that collect information, data storage solutions must also change and adapt. We’ve evolved past paper punch cardswith cloud systems dominating the market, housing more than one exabyte (about one quintillion bytes) of data.
