Description:
This is the definitive reference on the understanding, design, and use of devices, circuits, and systems intended to operate in extreme environments, for example across wide temperature ranges (both high and low) and in radiation-intense scenarios such as space. The text describes best practices and illustrates concepts with silicon-validated results, including numerous case studies and examples. It presents design and modeling techniques required to ensure the robust operation in extreme environments of analog, digital, and RF circuits and systems. It also discusses reliability considerations and electronic packaging approaches for long-term survivability.
Review Quotes:
"It is an excellent reference book in a somewhat specialized field. ... This book details a lot of stuff not really documented anywhere else. It is likely to be 'the' book on this subject."
--Marco Corsi, Texas Instruments, Parker, Texas, USA
"This book is a comprehensive compendium of valuable information on the operation of electronics in extreme environments. It contains contributions from more than 100 experts in all of the appropriate fields of study. ... a very large number of practical examples and applications. It will be valuable for students and for practicing engineers, scientists, and technical managers."--Edward Petersen, Ph.D., IEEE Life Fellow, consultant, and author of Single Event Effects in Aerospace
"... a very large and comprehensive collection of modern electronic circuits generally used in space applications. ... the authoritative guide to extreme environment electronics. loaded with a wealth of information. It will provide engineers and scientists working in this field with up-to-elate information and provide a comprehensive listing of reference sources for further study. It could also be useful to graduate students studying electrical engineering, physics or material science."--IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine
