Harness Powerful SPICE Simulation and Design Tools to Develop Cutting-Edge Switch-Mode Power Supplies
Switch-Mode Power Supplies: SPICE Simulations and Practical Designs is a comprehensive resource on using SPICE as a power conversion design companion. This book uniquely bridges analysis and market reality to teach the development and marketing of state-of-the art switching converters. Invaluable to both the graduating student and the experienced design engineer, this guide explains how to derive founding equations of the most popular converters:design safe, reliable converters through numerous practical examples:and utilize SPICE simulations to virtually breadboard a converter on the PC before using the soldering iron.

Filled with more than 600 illustrations, Switch-Mode Power Supplies: SPICE Simulations and Practical Designs enables you to:
* Derive founding equations of popular converters
* Understand and implement loop control via the book-exclusive small-signal models
* Design safe, reliable converters through practical examples
* Use SPICE simulations to virtually breadboard a converter on the PC
* Access design spreadsheets and simulation templates on the accompanying CD-ROM, with numerous examples running on OrCADE, ICAPSE, ?CapE, TINAE, and more

Nearly sixty years ago, the first successful demonstration of the transistor proved to be the herald of a new era of microelectronics. The ever-increasing complexity and functional speed of microelectronic circuits now containing tens of millions of transistors demand appropriate and rigorous test engineering activities during development and production. Test engineering must also be more closely interwoven with microelectronic design. An understanding of circuit test engineering is vital to any student desiring a career involving any stage in the design or manufacture of integrated circuits.

Taking a three-pronged approach
* dealing with test engineering from traditional-test, design and manufacturing view-points
* Integrated Circuit Test Engineering encapsulates the subject as it stands today. After an introduction covering background from basic testing rules to trends in technology, the reader learns about;
* fabrication processes;
* a diverse and complete range of detailed tests and procedures calculated to teach you all the tests you will require and how to choose which one(s) to use;
* how to design for testability;
* fault simulation;
* automatic test equipment and
* the economics of testing.
