[Annytom]

Yes,Art of Analog Layout is a great book.

 

[Dark_Angel_One]

You can find good informatinons about layout at

MASTER IC LAYOUT WITHOUT AN ENGINEERING BACKGROUND!

A "plain-English" guide to learning the basics of the integrated circuit design process--co-authored by one of IBM's top instructors!

Electronic semiconductor usage has exploded thanks to new chip applications such as cell phones, personal digital assistants, and consumer electronics--and created an unprecedented demand for technicians skilled in CMOS and bipolar design and layout. In IC LAYOUT BASICS, coauthor Chris Saint incorporates the same top-notch material utilized in his highly successful IBM training courses and offers you an essential primer covering:


* Integrated circuit processes
* Layout techniques
* Fundamental device concepts
* Wafer processes

Writing for technicians without an engineering degree and with the surety and clarity of an experienced teacher, Chris and Judy Saint offer a logical layered approach to learning. They present concepts from the ground up, building on the simple until the complex becomes crystal clear. Examples, self-tests, and sidebars reinforce the material and make it all quick and painless. For maximum retention, each chapter includes preview points, "motivation" boxes, and executive summaries.

PROVEN TEACHING METHODS AND MATERIALS,A JARGON-FREE STYLE, AND IN-DEPTH, NO-FLUFF COVERAGE MAKE THIS THE BEST GUIDE TO LEARNING IC DESIGN AND LAYOUT BASICS

The Art of Analog Layout
by Alan Hastings, Roy Alan Hastings

Publisher: Prentice Hall

ISBN: 0130870617

Book Info
(Pearson Education) Provides layout designers with broad coverage of the issues involved in successfully laying out analog integrated circuits. Keeps mathematics to a minimum, provides a carrier-based model for understanding device operation, and offers many exercises that can be done with paper and pencil instead of software. DLC: Integrated circuits--Design and construction.

Back Cover Copy

Based on the author's extensive experience as a circuit designer and a layout designer, The Art of Analog Layout takes a practical and authoritative perspective, providing the reader with broad coverage of the issues involved in successfully laying out analog integrated circuits. Topics range from the mechanics of layout to essential information about many related areas, such as device physics, processing failure modes and effects, device operation, parasitics, and matching. The emphasis throughout is on practical knowledge.

Written for layout designers, the mathematics is kept to a minimum, requiring only a familiarity with basic algebra and elementary electronics.
Provides a carrier-based model for understanding device operation.
Focuses on three processes: standard bipolar, polysilicon-gate CMOS, and analog BICMOS, enabling the reader to comprehend most new processes.
Discusses the ways in which variations in layout geometries affect the performance of devices fabricated in silicon.
Many exercises can be completed using pencil and paper for those who do not have access to layout editing software.

[eda4you]

has good practicall hints and

Malobertis book about analog Cmos Circuit Design.

 

[skywalker]

are these books for the Integratd Circuit components, or for printed circuits boards ?

Skywalker

 

[konqueror]

these books are for integrated circuits not for pcb's

 

[eda4you]

are these books for the Integratd Circuit components, or for printed circuits boards ?

Skywalker

All are for integrated layout. If you search some good books for PCB let me know. I've some.

 

[sisc1525]

IC Layout Basics is a start book.the art of analog layout is more advance.

 

[skywalker]

thanks konqueror.

ed4you, wich book you have for pcb ?

let me know, skywalker.

 

[lastdance]

hi, I am new to the board. I woud like to download the ebooks but I have not got enough points, would someone be able to send it to my email,
laichiongyew@yahoo.com.sg
Have anyone tried purchasing the points? How does it work?
Thank you very much

 

[mrp_me]

I think Allan Hasting book on Analog Layout design is a good one...

It covered all practical aspects in Analog world..

 

[skywalker]

hi lastdance,
you need moore points. Please read board rules.

Skywalker.

 

[crazyamd]

check IC mask layout. simple but with good explanation...

 

[lastdance]

I read the board rules, what I wish to know is if there's anyone who has purchased points? I am just worried of frauds.
Anyway, it's really good to be able to find ebooks here, as I could evaluate their usefulness before purchasing one.

 

[arunragavan]

how abt Analog design by naker le boyce! i guess its a good book.. deals with integarted ckt's design n detail.

with regards,

 

[lastdance]

I got this message when trying to download the ebook

HIGH ALERT
You do not have permission to.....

does anyone else get this kind of message?

What should i do to download the ebook?

Thank you
