Design of Integrated Circuits

Integrated circuit (IC) design refers to a branch of electronics engineering that deals with the specific logic and circuit design methods required for creating integrated circuits. They are made up of miniaturized electronic components that are assembled into an electrical network on a monolithic semiconductor substrate through photolithography. IC design has been primarily categorized into two types including analog and digital IC design. The digital IC design is generally used for the production of components like FPGAs, digital ASICs, microprocessors and memories. Digital design emphasizes on the maximization of circuit density, logical correctness, and strategically placing circuits to route timing signals and clock efficiently. Analog IC design includes the specialties of RF IC design and power IC design. Analog IC design is used for fabricating oscillators, op-amps, phase locked loops, active filters and linear regulators. The topics included in this book on the design of digital circuits are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It presents this complex topic in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. This book is a resource guide for experts as well as students.
