Circuit and interconnect design for high bit-rateapplications

Realizing maximum performance from high bit-rate and RF circuits requires close attention to IC technology, circuit-to-circuit interconnections (i.e., the ‘interconnect’) and circuit design. Circuit and Interconnet Design for RF and High Bit-rate Applications covers each of these topics from theory to practice, with sufficient detail to help you produce circuits that are ‘first-time right’. A thorough analysis of the interplay between on-chip circuits and interconnects is presented, including practical examples in high bit-rate and RF applications. Optimum interconnect geometries for the distribution of RF signals are described, together with simple models for standard interconnect geometriesthat capture characteristic impedance and propagation delay across a broad frequency range. The analyses also covers single-ended and differential geometries, so that the designer can incorporate the effects of interconnections as soon as estimated interconnect lengths are available. Detailed discussion of on-chip interconnect, including theory, design, modelling and evaluation Extensive Figure-of-Merit analyses for NPN transistors, which results are used for thedesign of several high bit-rate circuits and oscillators Analyzing the consequences of circuit operation at supply voltages above transistor breakdown voltages INDICE: From the contents Preface. 1.
