A comprehensive and in-depth review of analog circuitlayout, schematic architecture, device, power network and ESDdesign This book will provide a balanced overview of analog circuitdesign layout, analog circuit schematic development,architecture of chips, and ESD design. It will start atan introductory level and will bring the reader right up to thestate-of-the-art. Two critical design aspects for analog and powerintegrated circuits are combined. The first design aspect coversanalog circuit design techniques to achieve the desired circuitperformance. The second and main aspect presents the additionalchallenges associated with the design of adequate and effective ESDprotection elements and schemes. A comprehensive list of practicalapplication examples is used to demonstrate the successfulcombination of both techniques and any potential designtrade-offs. Chapter One looks at analog design discipline, including layoutand analog matching and analog layout design practices. Chapter Twodiscusses analog design with circuits, examining: singletransistor amplifiers; multi-transistor amplifiers; active loadsand more. The third chapter covers analog design layout (alsoMOSFET layout), before Chapters Four and Five discuss analog designsynthesis. The next chapters introduce the reader to analog-digitalmixed signal design synthesis, analog signal pin ESD networks, andanalog ESD power clamps. Chapter Nine, the last chapter, covers ESDdesign in analog applications. Clearly describes analog design fundamentals (circuitfundamentals) as well as outlining the various ESDimplications Covers a large breadth of subjects and technologies, such asCMOS, LDMOS, BCD, SOI, and thick body SOI Establishes an “ESD analog design” discipline thatdistinguishes itself from the alternative ESD digital designfocus Focuses on circuit and circuit design applications Assessible, with the artwork and tutorial style of the ESD bookseries PowerPoint slides are available for university facultymembers Even in the world of digital circuits, analog and power circuitsare two very important but under-addressed topics, especially fromthe ESD aspect. Dr. Voldman’s new book will serve as anessential and practical guide to the greater IC community. Withhigh practical and academic values this book is a“bible” for professionals, graduate students, deviceand circuit designers for investigating the physics of ESD and forproduct designs and testing.
