As electronics continue to become faster, smaller and more efficient, development and research around clocking signals and circuits has accelerated to keep pace. This book bridges the gap between the classical theory of clocking circuits and recent technological advances.

This book provides coverage of the major gyrator circuits, simulated inductors and related synthetic impedances. It offers a review of research in this field to date, and includes a wide range and number of circuit examples, along with their relevant design equations, limitations, performance features, advantages and shortcomings.

This book explores the challenges and opportunities of developing circuits with MEMS resonator filters. The replacement of classical electrical components with electromechanical components is explored in this book, and the specific properties of MEMS resonators required in various frequency ranges are discussed.

Novel devices with the potential to provide alternatives to existing nanometer CMOS technology are the subject of research in the fields of electronic materials and electronic design automation. This book explores the materials and design requirements of emerging integrated circuit technologies, and outlines their prospective applications.

This book covers essential topics and issues in current Phase-Locked Loop design, from fundamentals to practical design aspects. Both wireless and wireline systems are considered in the design of low noise frequency generation and clocking systems.

This book discusses innovative ideas in the design, modelling, implementation, and optimization of hardware platforms for neural networks. The book provides an overview of this emerging field, from principles to applications, for researchers, postgraduate students and engineers who work on learning-based services and hardware platforms.

This book provides a holistic view of modelling for analogue, high frequency, mixed signal, and heterogeneous systems for designers working towards improving efficiency, reducing design times, and addressing the challenges of representing aging, variability, and other technical challenges at the nanometre scale.

This book brings sensors, actuators and interfaces out of obscurity and integrates them for multiple disciplines including electrical, mechanical, chemical, and biomedical engineering. Real world cases, worked examples, and problem sets with selected answers provide both fundamental understanding and how industry develops sensor systems.
