This book presents a collection of peer-reviewed articles from the 7th International Conference on Microelectronics, Circuits, and Systems – Micro 2020. The volume covers the latest development and emerging research topics of material sciences, devices, microelectronics, circuits, nanotechnology, system design and testing, simulation, sensors, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, and its different applications. This book also deals with several tools and techniques to match the theme of the conference. It will be a valuable resource for researchers, professionals, Ph.D. scholars, undergraduate and postgraduate students working in Electronics, Microelectronics, Electrical, and Computer Engineering.

This book is dedicated to Prof. Dr. Heinz Gerhäuser on the occasion of his retirement both from the position of Executive Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS and from the Endowed Chair of Information Technologies with a Focus on Communication Electronics (LIKE) at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. Heinz Gerhäuser's vision and entrepreneurial spirit have made the Fraunhofer IIS one of the most successful and renowned German research institutions. He has been Director of the Fraunhofer IIS since 1993, and under his leadership it has grown to become the largest of Germany's 60 Fraunhofer Institutes, a position it retains to this day, currently employing over 730 staff. Likely his most important scientific as well as application-related contribution was his pivotal role in the development of the mp3 format, which would later become a worldwide success. The contributions to this Festschrift were written by both Fraunhofer IIS staff and external project team members in appreciation of Prof. Dr. Gerhäuser's lifetime academic achievements and his inspiring leadership at the Fraunhofer IIS. The papers reflect the broad spectrum of the institute's research activities and are grouped into sections on circuits, information systems, visual computing, and audio and multimedia. They provide academic and industrial researchers in fields like signal processing, sensor networks, microelectronics, and integrated circuits with an up-to-date overview of research results that have a huge potential for cutting-edge industrial applications.

This book constitutes selected papers from the Second International Conference on Microelectronic Devices, Circuits and Systems, ICMDCS 2021, held in Vellore, India, in February 2021. The 32 full papers and 6 short papers presented were thoroughly reviewed and selected from 103 submissions. They are organized in the topical sections on ​digital design for signal, image and video processing; VLSI testing and verification; emerging technologies and IoT; nano-scale modelling and process technology device; analog and mixed signal design; communication technologies and circuits; technology and modelling for micro electronic devices; electronics for green technology.

This book covers the proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Microelectronics, Circuits, and Systems (Micro2021) having design and developments of devices, micro- and nanotechnologies, and electronic appliances. This book includes the latest developments and emerging research topics in material sciences, devices, microelectronics, circuits, nanotechnology, system design and testing, simulation, sensors, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, and its different applications. This book is of great attraction to researchers and professionals working in electronics, microelectronics, electrical, and computer engineering.

This book describes the design of microelectronic circuits for energy harvesting, broadband energy conversion, new methods and technologies for energy conversion. The author also discusses the design of power management circuits and the implementation of voltage regulators. Coverage includes advanced methods in low and high power electronics, as well as principles of micro-scale design based on piezoelectric, electromagnetic and thermoelectric technologies with control and conditioning circuit design.

Microelectronic Circuits by Sedra and Smith has served generations of electrical and computer engineering students as the best and most widely-used text for this required course. Respected equally as a textbook and reference, "Sedra/Smith" combines a thorough presentation of fundamentals with an introduction to present-day IC technology. It remains the best text for helping students progress from circuit analysis to circuit design, developing design skills and insights that are essential to successful practice in the field. Significantly revised with the input of two new coauthors, slimmed down, and updated with the latest innovations, Microelectronic Circuits, Eighth Edition, remains the gold standard in providing the most comprehensive, flexible, accurate, and design-oriented treatment of electronic circuits available today.

This market-leading textbook continues its standard of excellence and innovation built on the solid pedagogical foundation that instructors expect from Adel S. Sedra and Kenneth C. Smith. New to this Edition: A revised study of the MOSFET and the BJT and their application in amplifier design. Improved treatment of such important topics as cascode amplifiers, frequency response, and feedback Reorganized and modernized coverage of Digital IC Design. New topics, including Class D power amplifiers, IC filters and oscillators, and image sensors A new "expand-your-perspective" feature that provides relevant historical and application notes Two thirds of the end-of-chapter problems are new or revised A new Instructor's Solutions Manual authored by Adel S. Sedra
