Abstract

Aiming at the core of the problem, Reuse Based Methodologies and Tools in the Design of Analog and Mixed-Signal Integrated Circuits presents a framework for the reuse-based design of AMS circuits. The framework is founded on three key elements: (1) a CAD-supported hierarchical design flow that facilitates the incorporation of AMS reusable blocks, reduces the overall design time, and expedites the management of increasing AMS design complexity; (2) a complete, clear definition of the AMS reusable block, structured into three separate facets or views: the behavioral, structural, and layout facets, the first two for top-down electrical synthesis and bottom-up verification, the latter used during bottom-up physical synthesis; (3) the design for reusability set of tools, methods, and guidelines that, relying on intensive parameterization as well as on design knowledge capture and encapsulation, allows to produce fully reusable AMS blocks. Reuse Based Methodologies and Tools in the Design of Analog and Mixed-Signal Integrated Circuits features a very detailed, tutorial, and in-depth coverage of all issues and must-have properties of reusable AMS blocks, as well as a thorough description of the methods and tools necessary to implement them. For the first time, this has been done hierarchically, covering one by one the different stages of the design flow, allowing us to examine how the reusable block yields its benefits, both in design time and correct performance.

Abstract

Structured Analog CMOS Design describes a structured analog design approach that makes it possible to simplify complex analog design problems and develop a design strategy that can be used for the design of large number of analog cells. It intentionally avoids treating the analog design as a mathematical problem, developing a design procedure based on the understanding of device physics and approximations that give insight into parameter interdependences. The proposed transistor-level design procedure is based on the EKV modeling approach and relies on the device inversion level as a fundamental design variable. Since all important design parameters can be expressed as continuous functions of the device inversion level, the design optimum as well as the technology limits can be easily found. The basic design concept consists in analog cell partitioning into the basic analog structures and sizing of these basic analog structures in a predefined procedural design sequence. The procedural design sequence ensures the correct propagation of design specifications, the verification of parameter limits and the local optimization loops. The proposed design procedure is also implemented as a CAD tool that follows this book. Finally, as a practical example, the design of analog amplifiers in a hybrid multi-bit Delta-Sigma modulator system is described in detail from system level to transistor level.

Abstract

ESD Design for Analog Circuits covers many challenging topics related to analog circuit design for both ESD device and ESD circuits at the network level. The chapters cover technical material on seven different hierarchical levels starting from elementary semiconductor structures, ESD device and clamp levels up to ESD protection network design followed by complex case studies for analog circuit design examples. Included is an extensive discussion of ESD design aspects for analog design for signal path products covering both major principles and specific case studies for DC-DC buck/boost converters, level shifters, digital-analog converters, high speed and precision power amplifiers, interface applications and system level protection. At the same time, the authors introduce a novel companion study tool for ESD protection solutions. Quick-start learning is combined with in-depth understanding for the whole spectrum of cross-disciplinary knowledge needed for excelling in the ESD field. The material combines textbook material with optional numerical simulation experience. Instructions for obtaining the simulation examples and trial version of DECIMMTM software can be found on the book's companion website www.analogesd.com. The simulation examples prepared by the authors support the specific examples discussed across the book chapters. ESD Design for Analog Circuits is a useful reference for device engineers and circuit designers addressing Analog IC Design problems.

Abstract

Multiobjective Shape Design in Electricity and Magnetism is entirely focused on electric and magnetic field synthesis, with special emphasis on the optimal shape design of devices when conflicting objectives are to be fulfilled. Direct problems are solved by means of finite-element analysis, while evolutionary computing is used to solve multiobjective inverse problems. This approach, which is original, is coherently developed throughout the whole manuscript. The use of game theory, dynamic optimisation, and Bayesian imaging strengthens the originality of the book. Covering the development of multiobjective optimisation in the past ten years, Multiobjective Shape Design in Electricity and Magnetism is a concise, comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to this research field, which is growing in the community of electricity and magnetism. Theoretical issues are illustrated by practical examples. In particular, a test problem is solved by different methods so that, by comparison of results, advantages and limitations of the various methods are made clear. Topics covered include: Maxwell equations and boundary-value problems; Paretian optimality; static optimisation; game theory; dynamic optimisation; Bayesian imaging. Multiobjective Shape Design in Electricity and Magnetism collects the long-lasting experience matured by the author during his research activity both at the university and in cooperation with industrial laboratories.

Abstract

Analog design at ultra-low supply voltages is an important challenge for the semiconductor research community and industry. Analog Circuit Design Techniques at 0.5V covers challenges for the design of MOS analog and RF circuits at a 0.5V power supply voltage. All design techniques presented are true low voltage techniques - all nodes in the circuits are within the power supply rails. The circuit implementations of body and gate input fully differential amplifiers are also discussed. These building blocks enable us to build continuous-time filters, track-and-hold circuits, and continuous-time sigma delta modulators. Current books on low voltage analog design typically cover techniques for supply voltages down to approximately 1V. This book presents novel ideas and results for operation from much lower supply voltages and the techniques presented are basic circuit techniques that are widely applicable beyond the scope of the presented examples. Analog Circuit Design Techniques at 0.5V is written for analog circuit designers and researchers as well as graduate students studying semiconductors and integrated circuit design.

Abstract

Substrate Noise Coupling in RFICs addresses substrate noise coupling in RF and mixed signal ICs when used in a system on chip (SoC) containing digital ICs as well. This trend of integrating RF, mixed signal ICs with large digital ICs is found in many of today's commercial ICs such as single chip Wi-Fi or Bluetooth solutions and is expected to grow rapidly in the future. The book reports modeling and simulation techniques for substrate noise coupling effects in RFICs and introduces isolation structures and design guides to mitigate such effects with the ultimate goal of enhancing the yield of RF and mixed signal SoCs . This is particularly critical when process feature sizes scale down to the nano meter range. Substrate Noise Coupling in RFICs reports silicon measurements, new test and noise isolation structures as well as calibration of a design flow used in the design and debug phases of RFICs. A design guide is articulated to be used by RFIC designers to maximize signal isolation and optimize chip floor plan, power and ground domains. Industrial examples of RFICs are given as demonstration vehicles to validate the proposed techniques. Some emphasis is put on the design of on-chip spiral inductors and the impact of the substrate on their performance. To our knowledge, this is the first title devoted to the topic of substrate noise coupling in RFICs as part of a large SoC.

Abstract

New manufacturing technologies have made possible the integration of entire systems on a single chip. This new design paradigm, termed system-on-chip (SOC), together with its associated manufacturing problems, represents a real challenge for designers. As well as giving rise to new design practices, SOC is also reshaping approaches to test and validation activities. These are beginning to migrate from the traditional register-transfer or gate levels of abstraction to the system level. Until now, test and validation have not been supported by system-level design tools so designers have lacked the necessary infrastructure to exploit all the benefits stemming from the adoption of the system level of abstraction such as higher functional performance and greater operating speed. Research efforts are already addressing this issue. System-level Test and Validation of Hardware/Software Systems provides a state-of-the-art overview of the current validation and test techniques by covering all aspects of the subject including: • modeling of bugs and defects; • stimulus generation for validation and test purposes (including timing errors; • design for testability. For researchers working on system-level validation and testing, for tool vendors involved in developing hardware-software co-design tools and for graduate students working in embedded systems and SOC design and implementation, System-level Test and Validation of Hardware/Software Systems will be an invaluable source of reference.
