Circuit Design for Modern Applications (Paperback)

This book offers a clear exploration of cutting-edge semiconductor circuit technologies and their practical applications. It covers topics like advanced transistor design, low-power consumption techniques, and high-performance circuit design.

Circuit Design for Modern Applications explores the recent innovations in semiconductor technology. Bandgap reference circuits, quad model transistors, voltagecontrolled oscillators, LDO regulators, power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers, operational amplifiers, low-power CNTFET-based quaternary multipliers, and STT MRAM-based cache memory for multicore systems are discussed. It points out the difficulties in designing CMOS analog and RF circuits for mmWave applications and looks into newly developed field-effect transistors for an alternate solution. Innovative devices such as III-V material-based HEMTs, and junctionless FETs are discussed. The book also looks at creative ways to improve circuit performance and energy efficiency, which is a useful resource for academics, researchers, and industry experts working in semiconductors.

This book will help the readers to stay on the cutting edge of contemporary circuit design technologies, covering various topics from fundamental circuit design to high-performance circuits.
