The Best Technology & Engineering Books 2025

1. Integrated Circuits and Systems FinFETs and Other Multi-Gate Transistors, (Hardcover)

This book explains the physics and properties of multi-gate field-effect transistors (MuGFETs), how they are made and how circuit designers can use them to improve the performances of integrated circuits. It covers the emergence of quantum effects and novel electrical transport phenomena due to the reduced size of the devices. In addition, this book describes the evolution of the MOS transistor from classical structures to SOI (silicon-on-insulator) and then to MuGFETs. It includes descriptions of the technological challenges and options, including a physically based compact model, that are presented by these devices. It also describes the most advanced models of MuGFET properties based on quantum modeling as well as other MuGFET applications that include advanced circuits and radiation-hard electronic devices.

2. Phaselock Techniques, (Hardcover)

A greatly revised and expanded account of phaselock technology The Third Edition of this landmark book presents new developments in the field of phaselock loops, some of which have never been published until now. Established concepts are reviewed critically and recommendations are offered for improved formulations. The work reflects the author's own research and many years of hands-on experience with phaselock loops. Reflecting the myriad of phaselock loops that are now found in electronic devices such as televisions, computers, radios, and cell phones, the book offers readers much new material, including: * Revised and expanded coverage of transfer functions * Two chapters on phase noise * Two chapters examining digital phaselock loops * A chapter on charge-pump phaselock loops * Expanded discussion of phase detectors and of oscillators * A chapter on anomalous phaselocking * A chapter on graphical aids, including Bode plots, root locus plots, and Nichols charts As in the previous editions, the focus of the book is on underlying principles, which remain valid despite technological advances. Extensive references guide readers to additional information to help them explore particular topics in greater depth. Phaselock Techniques, Third Edition is intended for practicing engineers, researchers, and graduate students. This critically acclaimed book has been thoroughly updated with new information and expanded for greater depth.

4. Build Your Own Printed Circuit Board (Mixed media product)

Williams offers step-by-step instructions on designing and creating a complete printed circuit board and how to use it in conjunction with the PIC Microcontroller. He shows how to generate CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) files and produce a circuit board. Publisher's Note: Products purchased from Third Party sellers are not guaranteed by the publisher for quality, authenticity, or access to any online entitlements included with the product. Printed circuit boards are at the heart of just about every electronic device made today - PCs, cell phones, MP3 players, PDAs, telephones, stereos, TVs, remote controls, cameras, your car, and even small appliances The reason these items have come down in price over the years is because of printed circuit boards. Whereas before you had to pay someone to physically connect (and repair!) wires for each component (a time-consuming and thus expensive prospect), now an error-proof, custom "PCB" is installed instead. Hobbyists and designers can now start their projects with a printed circuit board, rather than using it as a last step (and contracting it out to someone else, as was previously the norm). It not only makes a more professional-looking prototype, but also makes it easy to mass-produce. And the techniques are the same for the hobbyist working on a single project.This will be by far the most modern book on the market, with the latest and greatest techniques for producing intricate PCB's at a fraction of the cost of sending them out.
