Understanding Semiconductors: A Technical Guide for Non-Technical People (Paperback)
暫譯: 理解半導體：非技術人員的技術指南（平裝本）
Richard, Corey
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)
全面了解電子系統及其組成部分。從半導體產業的起源到今天，本書教授電學的基本知識，然後逐步深入新主題。
在整個過程中，技術概念的解釋深入淺出，充分說明了術語、機制和基本過程，而不會迷失於支持理論或支持支持理論的理論中。概念與現實世界緊密相連，並對行業動態和未來趨勢進行清晰的分析。
作為對保持半導體世界運轉的科學概念的補充，Understanding Semiconductors 充滿了恰當的類比，以闡明困難的概念。例如，在描述電壓、電流、功率及電流在電子系統中流動的關係時，本書將其與熱水淋浴和水務系統進行類比。大多數這些類比都配有插圖，讓您在進入下一個主題之前，有最佳的機會吸收當前的概念。
無論您是專注於技術的專業人士，還是對半導體一無所知的初學者，無論您是直接從事硬體技術並想了解更多，還是單純對驅動現代世界的技術感到好奇，Understanding Semiconductors 都將是一本資訊豐富、可靠的資源。
您將學到的內容
- 使用 EDA 工具設計晶片
- 使用晶體管和其他常見元件
- 通過所學知識做出更好的商業電子產品購買決策
本書適合誰閱讀對電子工程感興趣的愛好者和新手，技術經驗或先前資格有限。雖然本書是為非技術或半技術讀者設計的，但專注於某一特定領域的工程師也可以利用本書擴展他們在與核心專業領域不直接相關的領域的理解。
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.
