Digital Design and Modeling with VHDL and Synthesis

Electronic platforms layout with VHDL and Synthesis offers an built-in method of electronic layout ideas, techniques, and implementations to aid the reader layout even more advanced structures inside of a shorter layout cycle. this can be finished via introducing electronic layout suggestions, VHDL coding, VHDL simulation, synthesis instructions, and methods jointly.

Low-Power High-Resolution Analog to Digital Converters: Design, Test and Calibration

With the short development of CMOS fabrication expertise, an increasing number of signal-processing features are applied within the electronic area for a lower price, reduce strength intake, greater yield, and better re-configurability. This has lately generated a superb call for for low-power, low-voltage A/D converters that may be learned in a mainstream deep-submicron CMOS know-how.

CAD Tools and Algorithms for Product Design

Platforms to help the consistently shrinking product improvement cycles and the expanding caliber specifications want major improvements and new ways. during this e-book vital new instruments and algorithms for destiny product modeling platforms are offered. it's in accordance with a seminar on the overseas convention and study middle for computing device technology, Schloß Dagstuhl, Germany, offered by way of across the world well-known specialists in CAD know-how.

The fmax is calculated by extrapolation of the Mason’s gain U for frequencies between 20 GHz to 50 GHz, a frequency range where the most reliable data occurs. As evident, measurements suggest significant improvement in both the speed and the desired gain of these devices as compared to regular RF transistors with the same number of fingers.

As the Fig. 1 suggests, the MSG curve consists of two separate regions distinguished by a kink in between. The kink happens at k = 1 and at a frequency after which the device becomes unconditionally stable. 7) It’s worth noting that at frequencies before the kink, the unconditional stability is ensured by adding as much loss to the input/output ports to drive k exactly equal to 1 and MSG is calculated based on this assumption. As a result, the internal gate and drain resistances of the device do not affect the MSG as long as they are less than the required add-on resistance to make the device stable.
