| This Book andSimulation Software Bundle Project Dear Reader, this book project brings to youa unique study tool for ESD protection solutions used in analog-integratedcircuit (IC) design. Quick-start learning is combined with in-depthunderstanding for the whole spectrum of cro- disciplinary knowledge required toexcel in the ESD ?eld. The chapters cover technical material from elementarysemiconductor structure and device levels up to complex analog circuit designexamples and case studies. The book project provides two different options forlearning the material. The printed material can be studied as any regulartechnical textbook. At the same time, another option adds parallel exerciseusing the trial version of a complementary commercial simulation tool withprepared simulation examples. Combination of the textbook material withnumerical simulation experience presents a unique opportunity to gain a levelof expertise that is hard to achieve otherwise. The book is bundled withsimpli?ed trial version of commercial mixed- TM mode simulation software fromAngstrom Design Automation. The DECIMM (Device Circuit Mixed-Mode) simulatortool and complementary to the book s- ulation examples can be downloaded fromwww.analogesd.com. The simulation examples prepared by the authors support thespeci?c examples discussed across the book chapters. A key idea behind thisproject is to provide an opportunity to not only study the book material butalso gain a much deeper understanding of the subject by direct experiencethrough practical simulation examples. |
