Building on his widely praised seminars, Brooks explains what current is, how it flows, and how it reacts. He begins by reviewing the nature of current, and then explains current flow in basic circuits, discusses sources that supply and drive current, and addresses the unique problems associated with current on PCBs.

A very important part of printed circuit board (PCB) design involves sizing traces and vias to carry the required current. This exciting new book will explore how hot traces and vias should be and what board, circuit, design, and environmental parameters are the most important. PCB materials (copper and dielectrics) and the role they play in the heating and cooling of traces are covered. The IPC curves found in IPC 2152, the equations that fit those curves and computer simulations that fit those curves and equations are detailed. Sensitivity analyses that show what happens when environments are varied, including adjacent traces and planes, changing trace lengths, and thermal gradients are presented. Via temperatures and what determines them are explored, along with fusing issues and what happens when traces are overloaded. Voltage drops across traces and vias, the thermal effects going around right-angle corners, and frequency effects are covered. Readers learn how to measure the thermal conductivity of dielectrics and how to measure the resistivity of copper traces and why many prior attempts to do so have been doomed to failure. Industrial CT Scanning, and whether or not they might replace microsections for measuring trace parameters are also considered.

A comprehensive and in-depth review of analog circuitlayout, schematic architecture, device, power network and ESDdesign This book will provide a balanced overview of analog circuitdesign layout, analog circuit schematic development,architecture of chips, and ESD design. It will start atan introductory level and will bring the reader right up to thestate-of-the-art. Two critical design aspects for analog and powerintegrated circuits are combined. The first design aspect coversanalog circuit design techniques to achieve the desired circuitperformance. The second and main aspect presents the additionalchallenges associated with the design of adequate and effective ESDprotection elements and schemes. A comprehensive list of practicalapplication examples is used to demonstrate the successfulcombination of both techniques and any potential designtrade-offs. Chapter One looks at analog design discipline, including layoutand analog matching and analog layout design practices. Chapter Twodiscusses analog design with circuits, examining: singletransistor amplifiers; multi-transistor amplifiers; active loadsand more. The third chapter covers analog design layout (alsoMOSFET layout), before Chapters Four and Five discuss analog designsynthesis. The next chapters introduce the reader to analog-digitalmixed signal design synthesis, analog signal pin ESD networks, andanalog ESD power clamps. Chapter Nine, the last chapter, covers ESDdesign in analog applications. Clearly describes analog design fundamentals (circuitfundamentals) as well as outlining the various ESDimplications Covers a large breadth of subjects and technologies, such asCMOS, LDMOS, BCD, SOI, and thick body SOI Establishes an “ESD analog design” discipline thatdistinguishes itself from the alternative ESD digital designfocus Focuses on circuit and circuit design applications Assessible, with the artwork and tutorial style of the ESD bookseries PowerPoint slides are available for university facultymembers Even in the world of digital circuits, analog and power circuitsare two very important but under-addressed topics, especially fromthe ESD aspect. Dr. Voldman’s new book will serve as anessential and practical guide to the greater IC community. Withhigh practical and academic values this book is a“bible” for professionals, graduate students, deviceand circuit designers for investigating the physics of ESD and forproduct designs and testing.

Widely regarded as the standard text on EMC, Tim Williams' book provides all the key information needed to meet the requirements of the latest EMC Directive. Most importantly, it shows how to incorporate EMC principles into the product design process, avoiding cost and performance penalties, meeting the needs of specific standards and resulting in a better overall product. As well as covering the very latest legal requirements, the fourth edition has been thoroughly updated in line with the latest best practice in EMC compliance and product design. Coverage has been considerably expanded to include the R&TTE and Automotive EMC Directives, as well the military aerospace standards of DEF STAN 59-41 and DO160E. A new chapter on systems EMC is included, while short case studies demonstrate how EMC product design is put into practice. Tim Williams has worked for a variety of companies as an electronic design engineer over the last 25 years. He has monitored the progress of the EMC Directive and its associated standards since it was first made public. He now runs his own consultancy specialising in EMC design and test advice and training. - Includes the compliance procedures of the latest EMC Directive: 2004/108/EC - Short case studies demonstrating how EMC product design is put into practice - Packed full with many new chapters including: The R&TTE Directive and the Automotive EMC Directive looking at compliance aspects of radio and telecom terminal equipment and automotive electronic products; New chapter on military aerospace standards of DEP STAN 59-41 and DO1 60E; New chapter on systems EMC

Summarizes the schemes and technologies in RF circuit design, describes the basic parameters of an RF system and the fundamentals of RF system design, and presents an introduction of the individual RF circuit block design. Forming the backbone of today's mobile and satellite communications networks, radio frequency (RF) components and circuits are incorporated into everything that transmits or receives a radio wave, such as mobile phones, radio, WiFi, and walkie talkies. RF Circuit Design, Second Edition immerses practicing and aspiring industry professionals in the complex world of RF design. Completely restructured and reorganized with new content, end-of-chapter exercises, illustrations, and an appendix, the book presents integral information in three complete sections: Part One explains the different methodologies between RF and digital circuit design and covers voltage and power transportation, impedance matching in narrow-band case and wide-band case, gain of a raw device, measurement, and grounding. It also goes over equipotentiality and current coupling on ground surface, as well as layout and packaging, manufacturability of product design, and radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC). Part Two includes content on the main parameters and system analysis in RF circuit design, the fundamentals of differential pair and common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR), Balun, and system-on-a-chip (SOC).
