Semi-custom IC Design and VLSI
P.J. Hicks
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 1983
The contents of this book were first presented as a series of lectures at the first IEE Vacation School on Semi-Custom IC Design and VLSI held at the University of Edinburgh on 4-8 July 1983. The earlier chapters provide an introduction to silicon IC technology and include descriptions of the various processing techniques employed in the manufacture of microelectronic components. Different types of semi-custom IC are then reviewed and the factors that have to be considered in choosing a semi-custom technique are examined in detail. Logic design is next presented as an activity that is best carried out at a higher level of abstraction than the customary/logic gate level by using the algorithmic state machine (ASM) method. In the sections that follow, computer aids to design and design automation tools are introduced as essential requirements for the rapid and error-free design of semicustom ICs. Testing strategies and the need to design for testability are also covered in some detail.

SiC Power Devices and Applications
Li Ran
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2026
Semiconductor power switches are essential to the operation of power electronic converters and systems. Traditional silicon-based semiconductor power switches have intrinsic physical limits to their performance. Wide Bandgap (WBG) devices deliver higher efficiency, smaller size, and/or lighter weight. Applications in power grid electronics as well as in electromobility are on the rise, but WBG devices also pose new challenges, in particular due to their fast switching speed and the need for protection.

Silicon Wafer Bonding Technology for VLSI and MEMS Applications
Subramanian S. Iyer
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2002
By bonding a thin wafer of active silicon to a thicker wafer via a layer of insulating oxide to form an SOI structure it is possible to substantially improve the performance and integration of microelectronic circuits produced by very large scale integration (VLSI). For example, the recently announced IBM Power 4 'server-ona- chip' integrates two microprocessors, a high bandwidth system switch, a large memory cache and input/output functions. SOI wafer bonding is also an enabling technology in the rapidly growing field of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).

Spectral Theory and Excitation of Open Structures
Victor P. Shestopalov
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 1996
Open resonators, open waveguides and open diffraction gratings are used extensively in modern millimetre and submillimetre technology, spectroscopy and radio engineering. The physical principles of open electrodynamic structures are different from those of closed ones because of radiation loss, edges, multiconnected cross-sections and the need to take into account the behaviour of electromagnetic fields at infinity. The eigenoscillation and eigenwave spectra become complex, there are additional demands on the energy relations and the statements of spectral problems change.

Stepping Motors
A guide to theory and practicePaul Acarnley
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2002
Stepping motor technology is well established and used for motion control, most notably for computer peripherals but also wherever digital control is employed. This book provides an introductory text which will enable the reader to both appreciate the essential characteristics of stepping motor systems and understand how these characteristics are being exploited in the continuing development of new motors, drives and controllers. A basic theoretical approach relating to the more significant aspects of performance is presented, although it is assumed throughout that the reader has no previous experience of electrical machines and is primarily interested in the applications of stepping motors. Paul Acarnley's outstanding reference book is widely known and used, and this, the 4th edition, has been significantly updated to include many new applications that have emerged since the previous edition was published. Coverage includes: drive circuits, accurate load positioning, static torque characteristics, multi-step operation, torque/ speed characteristics, high-speed operation, open-loop control, closed-loop control and microprocessor-based stepping motor systems.

Swarm Intelligence
Applications, Volume 3Ying Tan
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2018
Swarm Intelligence (SI) is one of the most important and challenging paradigms under the umbrella of computational intelligence. It focuses on the research of collective behaviours of a swarm in nature and/or social phenomenon to solve complicated and difficult problems which cannot be handled by traditional approaches. Thousands of papers are published each year presenting new algorithms, new improvements and numerous real world applications. This makes it hard for researchers and students to share their ideas with other colleagues; follow up the works from other researchers with common interests; and to follow new developments and innovative approaches. This complete and timely collection fills this gap by presenting the latest research systematically and thoroughly to provide readers with a full view of the field of swarm. Students will learn the principles and theories of typical swarm intelligence algorithms; scholars will be inspired with promising research directions; and practitioners will find suitable methods for their applications of interest along with useful instructions.

System-on-Chip
Next generation electronicsBashir M. Al-Hashimi
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2006
System-on-Chip (SoC) is believed to represent the next major market for microelectronics, and there is a considerable interest world-wide in developing effective methods and tools to support the SoC paradigm. The field of SoC is broad and expanding and at present the technical and technological literature about the overall state-of-the-art in SoC is dispersed across a wide spectrum of books, journals, and conference proceedings. This edited book is an attempt to provide a comprehensive and accessible source of state-of-the-art information on existing and emerging SoC key research areas. In particular, the book covers the general principles and ideas of designing, validating and testing complex embedded computing systems and their underlying tradeoffs. Twenty-five international research groups have contributed to the book. Each contribution has an up-to-date survey highlighting the key achievements and future trends. To facilitate the understanding of the various topics covered in the book, each chapter has some background covering the basic principles, and extensive list of references. To enhance the book readability, the chapters are grouped into eight parts, each part examining a particular theme of SoC, including system design, embedded software, power management, reconfigurable computing, network-on-chip, verification and test. The book will be of interest to graduate students, designers and managers working in Electronic and Computer engineering.
