Stewart Ross s book which represents the distillation of thirty years of professional experience in industrial advertising and promotion is the only comprehensive and up-to-date working guide available for advertising sales and marketing managers of companies that manufacture products sold to other companies rather than to final consumers. Stressing practice rather than theory and providing in-depth coverage of every aspect of the marketing-communications program this manual will enable the working manager to obtain optimum results from outside services and suppliers or to establish an in-house advertising and promotion facility if is advantageous to do so.

Low-Power High-Speed ADCs for Nanometer CMOS Integration is about the design and implementation of ADC in nanometer CMOS processes that achieve lower power consumption for a given speed and resolution than previous designs through architectural and circuit innovations that take advantage of unique features of nanometer CMOS processes. A phase lock loop (PLL) clock multiplier has also been designed using new circuit techniques and successfully tested. 1) A 1.2V 52mW 210MS/s 10-bit two-step ADC in 130nm CMOS occupying 0.38mm2. Using offset canceling comparators and capacitor networks implemented with small value interconnect capacitors to replace resistor ladder/multiplexer in conventional sub-ranging ADCs it achieves 74dB SFDR for 10MHz and 71dB SFDR for 100MHz input. 2) A 32mW 1.25GS/s 6-bit ADC with 2.5GHz internal clock in 130nm CMOS. A new type of architecture that combines flash and SAR enables the lowest power consumption 6-bit >1GS/s ADC reported to date. This design can be a drop-in replacement for existing flash ADCs since it does require any post-processing or calibration step and has the same latency as flash. 3) A 0.4ps-rms-jitter (integrated from 3kHz to 300MHz offset for >2.5GHz) 1-3GHz tunable phase-noise programmable clock-multiplier PLL for generating sampling clock to the SAR ADC. A new loop filter structure enables phase error preamplification to lower PLL in-band noise without increasing loop filter capacitor size.

This book discusses the practical aspects of electrical and thermal modeling of packages. In addition processing concerns for plastic packaged GaAs parts are also covered. The book emphasizes low cost industry standard packages. However the principles involved translate well to other categories of packages. Digital issues such as crosstalk are well documented in other books and are therefore not covered in detail in this text. The principles for generation of equivalent circuit package models applies to both digital and analog parts. Digital designers and packaging engineers should still find this text useful. Subtleties often overlooked by standard methods of modeling packages for digital applications are considered and will become more important to the digital packaging engineer as frequencies continue to increase. It is hoped this book will be useful to both microwave and digital integrated circuit (Ie) designers as well as packaging engineers. In the past these disciplines were distinct. Packaging engineers typically were concerned with only materials and mechanical issues of the package. As long as there was an electrical connection made from the die to the external pin packaging engineers had the freedom to do anything they wanted between these two points. At high frequency the issues change. Packaging engineers now have to work with die level designers to either create a package that performs well at high frequencies or to use readily available low cost packages that happen to meet the needs of the application.
