Lectures on Digital Design Principles provides students an accessible reference for engaging with the building blocks of digital logic design. The book is an aggregation of lectures for an introductory course and provides a conversational style to better engage with students. Since the text is developed from lectures, important and foundational concepts are highlighted without tedious proofs. With respect to subject matter, students are introduced to different methods of abstracting digital systems, along with the strengths and weaknesses of these different methods. For example, Boolean logic can be represented as algebraic equations, gate level diagrams, switching circuits, truth tables, etc. Strengths and drawbacks to these representations are discussed in the context of Boolean minimization and electronic design automation. The text also delves into dynamic behavior of digital circuits with respect to timing in combinational circuits and state transitions in sequential circuits.

Advances in Highly Correlated Systems explores the fundamentals, recent advances, and applications of the physics of highly correlated materials. This book serves as a handbook/reference for advanced graduate students.The book provides fascinating insights into the major developments and applications of strongly correlated materials. It then goes on to integrate various numerical/theoretical models, such as dynamic mean-field theory, Hubbard model, Ab-Initio Calculation etc. It also encompasses a useful experimental and theoretical basis for students, researchers, and scientists.

Rad-hard Analog ICs is a practical guide for researchers and engineers designing and preliminarily characterizing radiation-hardened analog and mixed-signal circuits in standard CMOS technologies across multiple foundries and nodes.The opening chapter explains the fundamental radiation effects encountered in space and other harsh environments, establishing the scientific basis for radiation hardening by design (RHBD) techniques used to mitigate total ionizing dose (TID), single-event effects (SEE), and transient disturbances.The core chapters focus on three essential building blocks—band-gap references (BGRs), digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Each chapter begins with a concise review of circuit operating principles, followed by a survey of leading RHBD strategies from the literature. The authors then present their own rad-hard implementations, detailing the complete design flow from transistor-level mitigation techniques to layout-level hardening strategies.The final chapter provides a practical overview of radiation testing methodologies for analog and mixed-signal circuits, with emphasis on experimental campaigns conducted by the authors. Measured results under TID and SEE conditions illustrate both characterization techniques and real-world performance.Topics include:Radiation effects and RHBD methodologiesRad-hard band-gap references (BGRs)Rad-hard digital-to-analog converters (DACs)Rad-hard analog-to-digital converters (ADCs)Radiation testing of analog and mixed-signal ICs
