Microchips A Simple Introduction

The most important feature of this book is that it is easy to understand. You don't need a background in physics to understand it. All the physics you need is covered in the first chapter. You don't need to understand mathematics to understand the diagrams and graphs in this book. There are 186 figures to support the text. In this book I don't go into all of the details, instead I cover the most important concepts. The most wonderful thing about this book is the breadth of topics that it covers. It is a unique book because I explain everything from the tricks used in a microprocessor to make it run faster, to the ideas used in a signal processor to filter signals for your cell phone to the way that chips are tested. I cover issues dealing with using printed circuit boards to issues in designing super high frequency phase locked loops. And finally I explain why we are all thinking about what happens when we reach the smallest length of 60 millionths of a millimetre because then we will see things we never saw before. This book is exciting and educational and fun all at the same time.Yechuri, Sitaramarao is the author of 'Microchips A Simple Introduction', published 2003 under ISBN 9780974103709 and ISBN 0974103705.
