Summary

Summary

There is no field of enterprise today more dynamic or more challenging than Digital Integrated Circuits. But because of its rapid development, the field has quickly outgrown most of the standard textbooks. The field is also decidedly interdisciplinary. Engineers now must understand materials, physics, devices, processing electromagnetics, computer tools, and economics along with circuits and design rules, but few if any texts take the interdisciplinary approach that best prepares students for their future studies and practice.

Author John Ayers designed Digital Integrated Circuits: Analysis and Design to meet three primary objectives:

Take an interdisciplinary approach that will stay relevant for years to come
Provide broad coverage of the field relevant to students interested in designing integrated circuits and to those aiming towards designing with integrated circuits
Focus on the underlying principles rather than the details of current technologies that will soon be obsolete

Rich with pedagogical features and supplementary materials, this book appears destined to set a new standard for digital integrated circuits texts. It provides all of the materials you need to offer the best possible course for engineering or computer science students, and it's clear, systematic presentation and wealth of solved examples build the solid, practical foundation today's students need.

Prerequisites: Students will need an upper-level undergraduate engineering and science background with courses in circuits, electronics, and digital logic.


Author Notes

J.E. Ayers earned the M.S. EE in 1987 and the Ph.D. EE in 1990, both from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Since then he has been employed in academic research and teaching at the University of Connecticut, Storrs

Choice Review

Digital integrated circuits became interesting as a result of advances in semiconductor technology and miniaturization of components. Ayers (Univ. of Connecticut) focuses on principles underlying semiconductor technology such as bipolar and MOS concepts and the introduction of the computer-aided tool PSPICE in designing and simulating integrated circuits. Early chapters are devoted to a review of basic semiconductor materials and the physics necessary for understanding these integrated circuit components. Other chapters discuss simple bipolar transistor techniques ranging from transistor-transistor logic (TTL) and emitter-couple logic (ECL) to the more complex field effect transistor methods in metal-oxide field effect devices (MOSFET). Later chapters emphasize specialized integrated circuit devices and attempt to bring all the previously discussed techniques into the design of digital integrated circuits. Generally speaking, Ayers discusses a wide range of topics--each properly arranged, concisely explained, and clearly presented. He offers a learn-by-doing approach using chapter laboratory exercises and problems. These exercises together with the bibliography help readers deepen their understanding and widen their views of digital integrated circuits, making the book ideal for either a classroom resource or for independent study. Though there are laboratory activities, most of the analyses are theoretical and require a good understanding of calculus. ^BSumming Up: Recommended.
