This book provides a comprehensive reference for everything that has to do with digital circuits. The author focuses equally on all levels of abstraction. He tells a bottom-up story from the physics level to the finished product level. The aim is to provide a full account of the experience of designing, fabricating, understanding, and testing a microchip. The content is structured to be very accessible and self-contained, allowing readers with diverse backgrounds to read as much or as little of the book as needed. Beyond a basic foundation of mathematics and physics, the book makes no assumptions about prior knowledge. This allows someone new to the field to read the book from the beginning. It also means that someone using the book as a reference will be able to answer their questions without referring to any external sources.

This book is written as an introductory textbook on Resistive Random Access Memory (ReRAM). ReRAM is a prominent emerging memory among other competing Non-Volatile Memories (NVM) seeking to replace flash memory. This book is based on the author's peer-reviewed research conducted at the Chair of Computer Architecture, FAU, Germany. Referring to his research and the most relevant research from the literature, the author presents the developments in this field concisely. The purpose is to clarify basic concepts and introduce the reader to ReRAM with an emphasis on circuit design. Hence, this book is written for university students considering a career in the semiconductor industry. Since the author's research was conducted in collaboration with a silicon foundry, hardware engineers will find this book practical and industry-relevant. Researchers in the field of In-Memory Computing will also benefit from this book since the NVM array is the basic substrate for such computing paradigms. This three-part book condenses the research and development of the last decade into eight chapters. In Part I, a good foundation is laid for understanding the individual device structure, its electrical characteristics, and modeling methodology. The different array configurations in which these memory devices are fabricated are also discussed. In Part II, the peripheral circuits -the CMOS circuits around the ReRAM array are discussed. They include sense amplifiers, programming circuits, and row/column access circuits. Recent developments such as the possibility to perform certain computing tasks in the ReRAM array are discussed in Part III.

This book includes selected peer reviewed articles from The 5th International Conference on Communications and Cyber-Physical Engineering (ICCCE 2022), held on 29th and 30th April 2022 in Hyderabad, India. Articles presented here relate to next generation cognitive systems, neuroscience, cyber physical systems and their impact on communication technologies. The book includes content related to cognitive disorders, computational intelligence, fuzzy logics, evolutionary computing that are important for deriving a roadmap for future research on cognitive science/systems and communications. ICCCE is one of the most prestigious conferences conceptualized in the transdisciplinary field of cognitive science and communication technology areas like methods of linguistics, computer science, philosophy, and neuroscience. This edition of the conference was attended by several Industry professionals and academicians, and Government agencies to cover a broad range of perspectives, practices, and technical expertise related to cognitive technologies and next generation communications. Articles presented cover innovations from industry, outcome of implementations and cutting-edge research outcomes from cognitive science/technology areas and their impact on communication technology and cyber physical engineering. ​

Focused on the field of knowledge lying between digital and analog circuit theory, this new text will help engineers working with digital systems shorten their product development cycles and help fix their latest design problems. The scope of the material covered includes signal reflection, crosstalk, and noise problems which occur in high speed digital machines (above 10 megahertz). This volume will be of practical use to digital logic designers, staff and senior communications scientists, and all those interested in digital design.

This volume LNCS 14252 constitutes the refereed proceedings of 25th International Conference on Information and Communications Security, ICICS 2023, held in Tianjin, China, during November 18–20, 2023.
