Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) is becoming a very important semiconductor material since it permits high processing speeds which are of prime importance in supercomputers and AI. This book provides a comprehensive coverage of practical design considerations and applications of GaAs and related compounds, and presents a balanced theoretical and practical approach to the subject.

VLSI for Wireless Communication, Second Edition, an advanced level text book, takes a system approach starting with an overview of the most up to date wireless systems and the transceiver architecture available today. Wireless standards are first introduced (updated to include the most recent 3G/4G standards in the second edition), and translates from a wireless standard to the implementation of a transceiver. This system approach is particularly important as the level of integration in VLSI inc...

The first book to explain the principals behind mobile 3D hardware implementation, helping readers understand advanced algorithms, produce low-cost, low-power SoCs, or become familiar with embedded systems As mobile broadcasting and entertainment applications evolve, there is increasing interest in 3D graphics within the field of mobile electronics, particularly for handheld devices. In Mobile 3D Graphics SoC, Yoo provides a comprehensive understanding of the algorithms of mobile 3D graphics an...

High definition video requires substantial compression in order to be transmitted or stored economically. Advances in video coding standards from MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 to H.264/AVC have provided ever increasing coding efficiency, at the expense of great computational complexity which can only be delivered through massively parallel processing. This book will present VLSI architectural design and chip implementation for high definition H.264/AVC video encoding, using a state-of-the-art video app...

Test functions (fault detection, diagnosis, error correction, repair, etc.) that are applied concurrently while the system continues its intended function are defined as on-line testing. In its expanded scope, on-line testing includes the design of concurrent error checking subsystems that can be themselves self-checking, fail-safe systems that continue to function correctly even after an error occurs, reliability monitoring, and self-test and fault-tolerant designs. On-Line Testing fo...

These proceedings include such computer graphic-related topics as: low powr design; formal verification; embedded systems; digital imaging; signal integrity and testing.

PSPICE has circuit simulation features unmatched by any other scientific software. MATLAB's capabilities for matrix computations, plotting, data processing, and analysis are well established throughout the world. Together, these two software packages form a powerful, full-function toolbox for electronic circuit analysis. PSPICE and MATLAB for Electronics offers the first integrated presentation of both of these software packages. It provides a PSPICE primer, a MATLAB primer, and an in-depth tre...

This text is for undergraduate VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) design courses in departments of electrical and computer engineering departments. A wide range of clear and understandable material is presented, with emphasis on the relationship between circuit layout design and electrical system performance. Topics range from basic physics of devices to introductory VLSI computer systems, in both N-MOS (N-Channel Metal Oxide Semiconductor) and CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor). Ma...
