Despite the inevitable trend toward low-voltage VLSI circuits, few books address the technology, and none at as comprehensive a level as this one. Geared to the needs of engineers and designers in the field, this unique volume presents a remarkably detailed analysis of one of the hottest and most compelling research topics in micro- electronics today?namely, low-voltage CMOS VLSI circuit techniques for VLSI systems. It features complete guidelines to diversified low-voltage and low-power circuit techniques, emphasizing the role of submicron and CMOS processing technology and device modeling in the circuit designs of low-voltage CMOS VLSI. Indispensable topics and study aids include:

• 431 ready-to-use circuit diagrams and related figures of CMOS static and dynamic logic circuits
• Volatile and nonvolatile VLSI memory circuits, including the newly introduced ferroelectric RAM (FRAM)
• Low-voltage CMOS VLSI systems, along with components, CPUs, FPUs, and DSPs
• Microprocessor systems using low-voltage SOI and BiCMOS technologies
• 293 valuable references from the latest research papers
• End-of-chapter problems (a solutions manual is also available)
