CMOS Logic Circuit Design

By John P. Uyemura

Book Overview

CMOS Logic Circuit Design is an up-to-date treatment of the analysis and design of CMOS integrated digital logic circuits. It is a self- contained treatment that covers all of the important digital circuit design styles found in modern CMOS chips.
Introductory chapters on MOSFET physics and CMOS fabrication provide the background needed for a solid understanding of the circuit design techniques in the remainder of the book. Static CMOS logic design is given an in-depth treatment which covers both the analysis and design of these types of circuits. Emphasis is on analyzing circuits to understand the relationship between the design and performance in an integrated environment. Analytic models and their application are presented to provide a uniform base for the design philosophy developed in the study.
Dynamic circuit concepts such as charge sharing and charge leakage are presented in detail and then applied to dynamic logic families such as domino cascades, self-resetting logic, and dynamic single-phase designs. Differential logic families are given an entire chapter that discusses CVSL, CPL, and related design styles. Chip issues such as interconnect modeling, crosstalk, and input/output circuits round out the coverage.
CMOS Logic Circuit Design provides the reader with an opportunity to see the field in a unified manner that emphasizes solving design problems using the various logic styles available in CMOS.
CMOS Logic Circuit Design is designed to be used as both a textbook (either in the classroom or for self-study) and as a reference for the VLSI chip designer.

CMOS Logic Circuit Design

This book is very well written with lots of examples and plenty of formulae and problems to practice. It starts with the basics of MOSFETs, talks a little bit about Mask Design, and then moves on to IV Characteristics, pass transistors, logic gates, transmission gates, and so on. It is a fantastic book to understand how logic circuits behave and to use a reference for basic spice circuit analysis. If there is one thing I should complain about, it is that the psychedelic color on the cover gives the illusion that the subject is scarier than it actually is. :-)

too bad he passed away

we were using this book at gatech. I had two courses with him and I have learned a lot from Mr. "Samurai Professor"! God bless him!

A very good book for beginner and intermediate

It is meant for digital CMOS circuit designers. Not meant for digital circuits level. All are at CMOS transistor level analysis and design. Usually, most of the digital CMOS circuits in the industry have already been laid out and kept as part of the standard cell library. Even though so, we still need to have a strong concept on digital CMOS circuits in order to be a good IC designer. It is a very good book for the beginner and intermediate level, for those who has the interest to pick up CMOS digital circuits. The book is not meant to help the reader to be good at layouts, semiconductor physics and CAD tools. There are other books for those fields. The book presents a thorough explanation on digital CMOS circuit operation using both equations and words. A lot of diagrams and graphs/curves. That makes it very useful for self study. Helps the beginner (what i meant by "beginner" is that he/she should have a knowledge in fundamentals of semiconductor physics such as pn junction) to grasp the concept of digital CMOS circuit well. I have 2 more books that are by Leblibici (CMOS Digital Integrated Circuits Analysis & Design) and Neil Weste (Princple of CMOS vlsi design) and I found that this is better than both the books for beginners and for CMOS purpose. But the book by Weste is a very good reference, not meant for self reading unless you have a good foundation in CMOS circuit design already. The book by Leblibici is almost as good as the one by Uyemura. So, I use Leblibici book for extra reference and would usually use the book by Uyemura for first read. Therefore, I found the book by Leblibici is just as important.

excellent book with great details and coverage

The book is very good and covers CMOS circuits in great details. It includes very good expanation diagrams. It covers not only basic static cmos family but also new cmos family circuits.
