Elektromagnetische Vertraglichkeit (VDI)
by Adolf J Schwab and Wolfgang Kurner
Elektromagnetische Vertraglichkeit (EMV) ist ein moderner Oberbegriff fur die Beherrschung parasitarer elektromagnetischer Phanomene. Sie sind bisher in den verschiedenen Anwendungsbereichen als Funkstorungen, Netzruckwirkungen, Uberspannungen, Netzflicker, 50Hz-Brummen, Erdschleifen usw. bezeichnet worden. Sie lassen sich allgemeingultig behandeln, wenn man auf die physikalischen Grundlagen zuruckgeht und die Zusammenhange aufzeigt. Die Neuauflage wurde erneut didaktisch verbessert und der Norm...
Logic Synthesis for Fsm-Based Control Units (Lecture Notes Electrical Engineering) (Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering, #53)
by Alexander Barkalov
Tremendous achievements in the area of semiconductor electronics turn - croelectronics into nanoelectronics. Actually, we observe a real technical boom connected with achievements in nanoelectronics. It results in devel- mentofverycomplexintegratedcircuits,particularlythe?eldprogrammable logic devices (FPLD). Up-to-day FPLD chips are so huge, that it is enough only one chip to implement a really complex digital system including a da- path and a control unit. Because of the extreme complexity of...

Physics and Fabrication of Micristructures and Microdevices (Springer Proceedings in Physics, #13)
les Houches This Winter School on "The Physics and Fabrication of Microstructures" originated with a European industrial decision to investigate in some detail the potential of custom-designed microstructures for new devices. Beginning in 1985, GEC and THOMSON started a collaboration on these subjects, supported by an ESPRIT grant from the Commission of the European Com- munity. To the outside observer of the whole field, it appears clear that the world effort is very largely based in the United...

Compound Semiconductor Device Modelling
Compound semiconductor devices form the foundation of solid-state microwave and optoelectronic technologies used in many modern communication systems. In common with their low frequency counterparts, these devices are often represented using equivalent circuit models, but it is often necessary to resort to physical models in order to gain insight into the detailed operation of compound semiconductor devices. Many of the earliest physical models were indeed developed to understand the 'unusual' p...
FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays) can be found in applications such as smart phones, mp3 players, medical imaging devices, and for aerospace and defense technology. FPGAs consist of logic blocks and programmable interconnects. This allows an engineer to start with a blank slate and program the FPGA for a specific task, for instance, digital signal processing, or a specific device, for example, a software-defined radio. Due to the short time to market and ability to reprogram to fix bugs wit...
