1st Edition
by Michael Olorunfunmi Kolawole (Author)
This book gives clear explanations of the technical aspects of
electronics engineering from basic classical device formulations to the
use of nanotechnology to develop efficient quantum electronic systems.
As well as being up to date, this book provides a broader range of
topics than found in many other electronics books. This book is written
in a clear, accessible style and covers topics in a comprehensive
manner.
This book’s approach is strongly application-based with
key mathematical techniques introduced, helpful examples used to
illustrate the design procedures, and case studies provided where
appropriate. By including the fundamentals as well as more advanced
techniques, the author has produced an up-to-date reference that meets
the requirements of electronics and communications students and
professional engineers.
Features
- Discusses formulation and classification of integrated circuits
- Develops a hierarchical structure of functional logic blocks to build more complex digital logic circuits
- Outlines
the structure of transistors (bipolar, JFET, MOSFET or MOS, CMOS),
their processing techniques, their arrangement forming logic gates and
digital circuits, optimal pass transistor stages of buffered chain,
sources and types of noise, and performance of designed circuits under
noisy conditions
- Explains data conversion processes, choice of the converter types, and inherent errors
- Describes
electronic properties of nanomaterials, the crystallites’ size
reduction effect, and the principles of nanoscale structure fabrication
- Outlines
the principles of quantum electronics leading to the development of
lasers, masers, reversible quantum gates, and circuits and applications
of quantum cells and fabrication methods, including self-assembly (quantum-dot cellular automata) and tunneling (superconducting circuits), and describes quantum error-correction techniques
- Problems are provided at the end of each chapter to challenge the reader’s understanding
