Preface
Staggering are both the quantity and the variety of complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor CMOS memories. CMOS memories are traded as mass-products world wide, and are diversified to satisfy nearly all practical requirements in operational speed, power, size and environmental tolerance. Without the outstanding speed, power and packing-density characteristics of CMOS memories neither personal computing, nor space exploration, nor superior defense-systems, nor many other feats of human ingenuity could be accomplished. Electronic systems need continuous improvements in speed performance, power consumption, packing density, size, weight and costs; and these needs spur the rapid advancement of CMOS memory processing and circuit technologies.
The objective of this book is to provide a systematic and comprehensive insight which aids the understanding, practical use and progress of CMOS memory circuits, architectures and design techniques. In the area of semiconductor memories, since 1977 this is the first and only book that is devoted to memory circuits. Besides filling the general void in memory-related works, so far this book is the only one that covers inclusively such modem and momentous issues in CMOS memory designs as sense amplifiers, redundancy implementations and radiation hardening, and discloses practical approaches to combine high performance, and reliability, with high packing density and yield by circuit-technological and architectural means.
