ULSI Semiconductor Technology Atlas [Book Review]

TLDR: In this paper, the authors focus on the analog part and leave the digital part to another textbook, and instead of adding the digital parts, the authors should have added some real applications using analog circuits like PLL, transceivers, etc.

Abstract: IEEE CIRCUITS & DEVICES MAGAZINE ■ SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2005 assumptions they made in hand calculation that made their simulation results different. Including simulation would make the book more complicated, but in order to really understand the fundamentals, students need to go through projects and simulations. This book should have stayed focused on the analog part and left the digital part to another textbook. Instead of adding the digital part, the authors should have added some real applications using analog circuits like PLL, transceivers, etc. Instead, this book covers many materials that students may not find in real applications. It would good for students to see the particular blocks of circuitry that can be used in commercial products. Despite a wealth of many pedagogical materials, this book is still one of the best to understand the fundamentals of analog circuitry. The wide deployment of this book in colleges and universities speaks for itself.
