Fast Techniques for Integrated Circuit Design
Circuit design starts with making a simple model and from this learn the behavior of the circuit block in question. This will also be an aid in choosing the right circuit topology. Learn how from our book 'Fast Techniques for Integrated Circuit Design' published by Cambridge University Press in 2019
Testimonials
'The estimation analysis techniques in this book open up a new and unique approach to gaining a deeper understanding of circuits, thus accelerating the optimization and design of a broad range of circuits, which is a critical skill in the fast paced IC design world where time to market is crucial to success.'
Joel King - Skyworks Solutions, Inc.
'Developing engineering solutions benefits greatly from the proverbial back of the envelope analysis. This book does an excellent job of not only providing a great reference to a number of estimating techniques (limitations clearly identified) for a number of key topics. It also resurrects the concept of engineering estimation, to quickly evaluate ideas and drive to useful conclusions without losing context. This art form is dwindling as today's engineers continue to depend on (very capable) computer simulators, slowing the development of intuition and hence innovation.'

Analog Circuit Simulators for Integrated Circuit Designers
After the modeling is done it is time to simulate your chosen topology. A modern simulator is a very sophisticated tool but the core algorithms are fairly easy to understand. Learn how using simple Python codes that showcases their operation and some of their strengths and weaknesses. Published by Springer International in the spring of 2021 and softcover in spring of 2022.
Layout Techniques for Integrated Circuit Designers
The final stage in a typical integrated circuit design effort is the layout phase. Learn about small geometry CMOS techniques, SiGe, and High frequency layout in this book. Also, algorithms that describe layout verification tools, like extraction, netlist comparison and design rules checkers are described. It was published by Artech House in August 2022.
