Any textbook more than five years old simply won’t do in digital integrated circuits, as dynamic CMOS circuits have emerged to dominate the field. Providing a revised instructional text for engineers involved with Very Large Scale Integrated Circuit design and fabrication, this second edition delves into the dramatic advances, including new applications and changes in the physics of operation made possible by relentless miniaturization. Each chapter includes numerous worked examples, case studies and SPICE computer simulations. The book’s website offers supplementary material and more worked problems. Qualifying instructors will have access to a new instructor’s manual.

This is a state-of-the-art treatment of the circuit design of digital integrated circuits. It includes coverage of the basic concepts of static characteristics (voltage transfer characteristics, noise margins, fanout, power dissipation) and dynamic characteristics (propagation delay times) and the interrelationships among these parameters. The authors are regarded as leading authorities in integrated circuits and MOS technology.
