Analog IC Design


Book Description

This slide book presents, explains, and shows how to understand, develop, and use semiconductor devices to model, analyze, and design transistor-level analog integrated circuits (ICs) with and without feedback using bipolar and CMOS technologies. The underlying aim is to cultivate and develop insight and intuition for how semiconductor devices work individually and collectively in microelectronic circuits. For this, the presentation seeks to furnish an intuitive view of ICs that transcends mathematical and algebraic formulations to empower engineers with the tools necessary to design ICs that perform practical and complex analog functions.




Internally Compensated LDO Regulators for Modern System-on-Chip Design


Book Description

This book presents a thorough state-of-the-art review for internally compensated Low Dropout Regulators (IC-LDO). It serves as a useful guide for circuit designers. The advantages and disadvantages of each cell proposed are highlighted. The authors describe an alternative to the classical topology; the Flipped Voltage Follower (FVF), which has been recently applied in the design of internally compensated LDOs to enhance their performances. This book provides novel circuits enhancing those parameters of LDO related with frequency behavior and power consumption. These solutions, as well as their appropriate design methodology, are properly described within the text.

Industrial System Engineering for Drones


Book Description

Explore a complex mechanical system where electronics and mechanical engineers work together as a cross-functional team. Using a working example, this book is a practical “how to” guide to designing a drone system. As system design becomes more and more complicated, systematic, and organized, there is an increasingly large gap in how system design happens in the industry versus what is taught in academia. While the system design basics and fundamentals mostly remain the same, the process, flow, considerations, and tools applied in industry are far different than that in academia. Designing Drone Systems takes you through the entire flow from system conception to design to production, bridging the knowledge gap between academia and the industry as you build your own drone systems. What You’ll LearnGain a high level understanding of drone systems Design a drone systems and elaborating the various aspects and considerations of design Review the principles of the industrial system design process/flow, and the guidelines for drone systems Look at the challenges, limitations, best practices, and patterns of system design Who This Book Is For Primarily for beginning or aspiring system design experts, recent graduates, and system design engineers. Teachers, trainers, and system design mentors can also benefit from this content.
