เนื้อหาย่อ : The aim of this book is to provide up to date information on a broad range of semiconductors, and to give straightforward examples of how the devices may be used in practice. All the chapters have therefore been written by practising professional engineers with these aims in view. The chapters in this book on Circuit Design cover a wide range of semiconductor devices and I have grouped them into broad device-type sections. These are MOS Integrated Circuits, Special Purpose Bipolar Integrated Circuits, Field Effect Transistors and Radio Frequency Power Transistors. The first chapter of each section is of an introductory nature. In the first section on MOS I.C.s the Applications Chapters cover what are, in my opinion, the most important areas: Memory, Terminals, Computational and Interconnecting or Interfacing with other devices. A wide range of special bipolar integrated circuits exists today but only a small number of their applications can be described. However, the spectrum is covered from circuits which are mainly digital with linear peripherals, such as Line Drivers and Receivers and Read-Only Memories, to completely linear circuits, such as the Double Balanced Mixer and the Audio Power Amplifier. The major areas in which the FET is used, i.e. R.F. applications, high impedance and switching or chopping' circuits, are described in specific chapters of the third section. Finally, the chapters of the fourth section explain the use of power transistors in tuned and single- sideband amplifiers and as frequency multipliers. I should like to thank all the authors - for without their efforts this book would obviously not exist - and in particular, my colleague, David Bonham, for his help in tying up the loose ends.
