Digital Integrated Circuits: Analysis and Design, Second Edition focuses on timeless principles with a modern interdisciplinary view. Providing an updated look at Very Large Scale Integrated (VSLI) circuit design and fabrication, it considers recent advances in the field, including new applications and changes in the physics of operation made possible by relentless miniaturization. Bridging the void between books on transistor electronics and those on VLSI design and fabrication, this updated edition supplies students with the cross-disciplinary understanding required for more advanced work. For pedagogical reasons, the author uses SPICE level 1 computer simulation models but introduces BSIM models that are indispensable for VLSI design. This enables students to develop a strong and intuitive sense of device and circuit design by drawing direct connections between the hand analysis and the SPICE models. Significantly expanding on the concepts presented in the first edition, this edition includes: • • • •

Intelligent Instrumentation Principles and Applications Manabendra Bhuyan Tezpur Central University, Assam, India

With the advent of microprocessors and digitalprocessing technologies as catalyst, classical sensors capable of simple signal conditioning operations have evolved rapidly to take on higher and more specialized functions including validation, compensation, and classification. This new category of sensor expands the scope of incorporating intelligence into instrumentation systems, yet with such rapid changes, there has developed no universal standard for design, definition, or requirement with which to unify intelligent instrumentation. Explaining the underlying design methodologies of intelligent instrumentation, Intelligent Instrumentation Principles and Practice provides comprehensive and authoritative coverage on the scientific foundations from which to coordinate and advance the field. It illustrates methodologies with more than 80 numerical examples and 14 case studies to provide students with a working understanding of the material.

The author examines intelligent sensor signal conditioning such as calibration, linearization, and compensation, along with a wide variety of calibration and linearization techniques using circuits, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), microcontrollers, ANNs, and software. The final chapters highlight ANN techniques for pattern classification, recognition, prognostic diagnosis, fault detection, linearization, and calibration as well as important interfacing protocols in the wireless networking platform. • Emphasizes basic design principles and applications of intelligent sensors using case studies and numerical examples • Discusses signal processing operations such as linearization, calibration, and compensation on which intelligent sensors rely • Investigates artificial intelligence as a critical component of intelligent sensors in real world applications

The text begins with a brief introduction to the basic concepts of process, process parameters, sensors and transducers, and classification of transducers. It describes the performance characteristics of instrumentation and measurement systems and discusses static and dynamic characteristics, various types of sensor signals, and the concepts of signal representations, various transforms, and their operations in both static and dynamic conditions.

• Uses MATLAB® programs to validate design approaches

Coverage includes smart sensors, cogent sensors, soft sensors, self-validating sensors, VLSI sensors, temperature-compensating sensors, microcontrollers and ANN-based sensors, and indirect measurement sensors.

The need for new types of sensors is more critical than ever. This is due to the emergence of increasingly complex technologies, health and security concerns of a burgeoning world population, and the emergence of terrorist activities, among other factors. Depending on their application, the design, fabrication, testing, and use of sensors, all require various kinds of both technical and nontechnical expertise. With this in mind, Introduction to Sensors examines the theoretical foundations and practical applications of electrochemical, piezoelectric, fiber optic, thermal, and magnetic sensors and their use in the modern era. Incorporating information from sensor-based industries to review current developments in the field, the text: • Presents a complete sensor system that includes the preparation phase, the sensing element and platform, and appropriate electronics resulting in a digital readout • Discusses solid-state electronic sensors, such as the metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) capacitor, the micromachined capacitive polymer, and the Schottky diode sensors • Uses the two-dimensional hexagonal lattice as an example to detail the basic theory associated with piezoelectricity • Explores the fundamental relationship between stress, strain, electric field, and electric displacement The magnetic sensors presented are used to determine measurands such as the magnetic field and semiconductor properties, including carrier concentration and mobility.

Systems Control & Engineering

Essentials of Control Techniques and Theory John Billingsley University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba, Australia

“… a valuable and much-needed demystification of control theory … The role of the blackboard is assumed by a well-matched and balanced Web site, on which JavaScript-based simulations of the book’s examples and experiments can be run (and rerun with changed parameters) … an intrinsically excellent book, it is also the right control theory book at the right time. … This book has my highest recommendation among control theory books.” —George Hacken, Computing Reviews, August 2010

From frequency domain analysis to time-domain state-space representation, this text covers many aspects of classical and modern control theory. Presenting the nuts and bolts of designing a successful controller, it explains how to model real systems by deriving equations, turning them into computer code, and interacting with the simulations in real time. The author explores the shortcomings of simple linear control of systems with limited input range and includes plenty of practical examples of everyday devices. Software simulation examples and other material are available on the book’s website.
