商品描述
Gain complete understanding of electronic systems and their constituent parts. From the origins of the semiconductor industry right up until today, this book teaches the basics of electricity and then build on new topics one after another.
Throughout, the explanations of technical concepts go deep enough to fully explain the vernacular, mechanisms, and basic processes, without getting lost in the supporting theories or the theories that support the supporting theories. Concepts are tethered to the real world with crisp analysis of industry dynamics and future trends.
As a break from the straight-ahead scientific concepts that keep the world of semiconductors spinning, Understanding Semiconductors is liberally sprinkled with apt analogies that elucidate difficult concepts. For example, when describing the relationship between voltage, current, power, and the flow of electricity through an electronic system, the book draws a parallel to a hot shower and the water utility system. Most of these are paired with an illustration, giving you the best chance possible to absorb the concept at hand before moving on to the next topic.
Whether you're narrowly technical or don't know silicon from silly putty, working directly in hardware technologies and want to know more, or simply a curious person seeking hard information about the technology that powers the modern world, Understanding Semiconductors will be an informative, dependable resource.
What You'll Learn
- Design chips with EDA tools
- Work with transistors and other common components
- Make better buying decisions with commercial electronics through what you've learned
Who This Book Is ForHobbyists and new electrical engineering enthusiasts with minimal technical experience or pre-existing qualifications. Though designed for a non- or semi-technical reader--engineers focused in one particular domain can also use this book to broaden their understanding in areas that aren't directly related to their core area of expertise.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
深入了解電子系統及其組成部分。從半導體行業的起源一直到今天，本書教授電力基礎知識，並逐一介紹新的主題。在整個過程中，對技術概念的解釋足夠深入，可以完全解釋術語、機制和基本過程，而不會迷失在支持理論或支持支持理論的理論中。概念與現實世界相結合，通過對行業動態和未來趨勢的精確分析來解釋。
作為一本打破半導體世界的嚴肅科學概念的書籍，《理解半導體》大量使用恰當的類比來闡明困難的概念。例如，當描述電壓、電流、功率以及電力通過電子系統的流動之間的關係時，本書將其比喻為熱水淋浴和自來水系統之間的關係。大多數類比都配有插圖，讓您在轉到下一個主題之前有最好的機會吸收當前的概念。
無論您是專注於技術領域，還是對硬件技術一無所知並希望了解更多，或者只是一個對推動現代世界的技術感到好奇的人，理解半導體都將是一個豐富可靠的資源。
您將學到什麼：
- 使用EDA工具設計芯片
- 使用晶體管和其他常見元件
- 通過所學知識在商業電子產品上做出更好的購買決策
本書適合對電氣工程有興趣但技術經驗有限或沒有預先資格的業餘愛好者和新的電氣工程愛好者。儘管設計為非技術或半技術讀者，但在某一特定領域專注的工程師也可以使用本書來擴大對與其核心專業領域無直接關聯的領域的理解。
作者簡介
Corey Richard leads the Executive Search and Developer Recruiting practice at SignalFire, an SF-based $2B Venture Capital Fund with notable investments in Grammarly, Uber, Ro, and Color Genomics. He supports over 150 seed and growth stage startups, helping founders attract and hire key talent across Engineering, Product, and GTM. Before coming to SignalFire, Corey supported Apple's Silicon Engineering Group for four years, where he built next generation engineering organizations across all facets of silicon design - supporting both the Analog-Mixed-Signal (AMS) Design and IC Packaging Orgs. Prior to Apple, he consulted for a wide array of hardware technology giants including Harman International, Cirrus Logic, and Xilinx FPGA. Corey completed his MBA in Organizational Development & Entrepreneurship at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business and was valedictorian of his undergraduate class at SDSU, where he studied Finance, Sustainability, and Organizational Psychology.
