Richard\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePractical Synthesis of High-Performance Analog Circuits\u003c\/em\u003e  presents a technique for automating the design of analog circuits.  \u003cbr\u003e  Market competition and the astounding pace of technological innovation  exert tremendous pressure on circuit design engineers to turn ideas  into products quickly and get them to market. In digital Application  Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) design, computer aided design (CAD)  tools have substantially eased this pressure by automating many of the  laborious steps in the design process, thereby allowing the designer  to maximise his design expertise. \u003cbr\u003e  But the world is not solely digital. \u003cbr\u003e  Cellular telephones, magnetic disk drives, neural networks and speech  recognition systems are a few of the recent technological innovations  that rely on a core of analog circuitry and exploit the density and  performance of mixed analog\/digital ASICs. To maximize profit, these  mixed-signal ASICs must also make it to market as quickly as possible.  However, although the engineer working on the digital portion of the  ASIC can rely on sophisticated CAD tools to automate much of the  design process, there is little help for the engineer working on the  analog portion of the chip. With the exception of simulators to verify  the circuit design when it is complete, there are almost no general  purpose CAD tools that an analog design engineer can take advantage of  to automate the analog design flow and reduce his time to market.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003ePractical Synthesis of High-Performance Analog Circuits\u003c\/em\u003e presents  a new variation-tolerant analog synthesis strategy that is a  significant step towards ending the wait for a practical analog  synthesis tool. A new synthesis strategy is presented that can fully  automate the path from a circuit topology and performance  specifications to a sized variation-tolerant circuit schematic. This  strategy relies on asymptotic waveform evaluation to predict circuit  performance and simulated annealing to solve a novel non-linear  infinite programming optimization formulation of the circuit synthesis  problem via a sequence of smaller optimization problems. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003ePractical Synthesis of High-Performance Analog Circuits\u003c\/em\u003e will be  of interest to analog circuit designers, CAD\u0026amp;sol;EDA industry  professionals, academics and students.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792382379\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-5565-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 289\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312328560780,"sku":"9780792382379","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792382379.jpg?v=1771524326","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792382379","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
