Institution of Engineering and Technology Heat Management in Integrated Circuits: On-chip and system-level monitoring and cooling
Book SynopsisAs integrated circuits get smaller and more complex, power densities are increasing, leading to more heat generation. Dealing with this heat is fast becoming the most important design bottleneck of current and future integrated circuits, where power envelopes are defined by the ability of the system to dissipate the generated heat. Thermal effects are forcing chip designers to apply conservative design margins, creating sub-optimal results. At a larger scale, cooling is the second most costly item in the electricity bills of well-designed high-performance computing and data centers, costing 30-50% of the total. Thermal monitoring and management in integrated circuits is therefore becoming increasingly important. This book covers thermal monitoring and management in integrated circuits, with a focus on devices and materials that are intimately integrated on-chip as opposed to in-package or on-board. The devices and circuits discussed include various designs used for the purpose of converting temperature to a digital measurement and actively biased circuits that reverse thermal gradients on chips for the purpose of cooling. Topics covered include an overview of heat in integrated circuits and systems, on-chip temperature sensing, dynamic thermal management, active cooling, and mitigating thermal events at the system-level and above.Table of Contents Chapter 1: Heat in integrated circuits and systems Chapter 2: On-chip temperature sensing Chapter 3: Dynamic thermal management Chapter 4: Active cooling Chapter 5: Mitigating thermal events at the system level and above Chapter 6: Emerging directions in thermal-aware systems Appendix A: Relevant units and metrics

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Foundations of Embedded Systems
Book SynopsisThis book is devoted to embedded systems (ESs), which can now be found in practically all fields of human activity. Embedded systems are essentially a special class of computing systems designed for monitoring and controlling objects of the physical world. The book begins by discussing the distinctive features of ESs, above all their cybernetic-physical character, and how they can be designed to deliver the required performance with a minimum amount of hardware. In turn, it presents a range of design methodologies. Considerable attention is paid to the hardware implementation of computational algorithms. It is shown that different parts of complex ESs could be implemented using models of finite state machines (FSMs). Also, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are very often used to implement different hardware accelerators in ESs. The book pays considerable attention to design methods for FPGA-based FSMs, before the closing section turns to programmable logic controllers widely used in industry. This book will be interesting and useful for students and postgraduates in the area of Computer Science, as well as for designers of embedded systems. In addition, it offers a good point of departure for creating embedded systems for various spheres of human activity.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Using Artificial Neural Networks for Analog Integrated Circuit Design Automation
Book SynopsisThis book addresses the automatic sizing and layout of analog integrated circuits (ICs) using deep learning (DL) and artificial neural networks (ANN). It explores an innovative approach to automatic circuit sizing where ANNs learn patterns from previously optimized design solutions. In opposition to classical optimization-based sizing strategies, where computational intelligence techniques are used to iterate over the map from devices’ sizes to circuits’ performances provided by design equations or circuit simulations, ANNs are shown to be capable of solving analog IC sizing as a direct map from specifications to the devices’ sizes. Two separate ANN architectures are proposed: a Regression-only model and a Classification and Regression model. The goal of the Regression-only model is to learn design patterns from the studied circuits, using circuit’s performances as input features and devices’ sizes as target outputs. This model can size a circuit given its specifications for a single topology. The Classification and Regression model has the same capabilities of the previous model, but it can also select the most appropriate circuit topology and its respective sizing given the target specification. The proposed methodology was implemented and tested on two analog circuit topologies.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Understanding Electromagnetic Waves
Book SynopsisThis one-semester textbook teaches students Electromagnetic Waves, via an early introduction to Maxwell’s Equations in the first chapter. Mathematics fundamentals are used as needed, but rigor is de-emphasized in preference to understanding the basic ideas and principles of EM waves. Each chapter includes extensive, step-by-step, solved examples, as well as abundant exercises. Designed for a one-semester course in electromagnetic waves; Introduces Maxwell’s equations in the first chapter; De-emphasizes mathematical rigor in order to make key ideas and principles easy to understand; Makes material accessible to readers of varying backgrounds, with extensive use of solved examples; Includes abundant exercises for each chapter. Trade Review“The book includes a huge number of figures, a large number of exercises and a reasonable number of solved examples, which, altogether, help the reader to understand quickly the exposition.” (Luis Filipe Pinheiro de Castro, zbMATH 1455.78001, 2021)Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Maxwell’s Equations.- Plane Waves and Wave Equations.- Characteristics and Parameters of EM Waves.- Boundary Conditions and Behavior of EM Waves.- Transmission Line.- Smith Chart.- Antenna.
