An Introduction to Mixed-Signal IC Test and Measurement

With the proliferation of complex semiconductor devices containing digital, analog, mixed-signal and radio-frequency circuits, the economics of test has come to the forefront and today's engineer needs to be fluent in all four circuit types. Having access to a book that covers these topics will help the evolving test engineer immensely and will be an invaluable resource. In addition, the second edition includes lengthy discussion on RF circuits, high-speed I/Os and probabilistic reasoning. Appropriate for the junior/senior university level, this textbook includes hundreds of examples, exercises and problems.

Gordon Roberts is James McGill Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at McGill University. He has conducted extensive research on analog integrated circuit design and mixed-signal test issues. Dr. Roberts has published numerous papers at IEEE conferences, coauthored several textbooks related to mixed-signal test and analog integrated circuit design (including SPICE, Second Edition, with Adel Sedra, OUP, 1996), and contributed various specialized volumes to other books.
