Modern VLSI Design: A Systems Approach [Kõva köide]

This comprehensive, detailed view of up-to-date VLSI design techniques for custom digital integrated circuit design shows readers how to design a variety of digital chips -- ranging from CPUs to interface logic -- starting only with bare silicon. It covers all phases of the IC design process, and provides insight into how modern computer-aided (CAD) methods should be used in the process. Readers will understand the complete IC design process -- from defining what the chip does to designing a chips layout and preparing the chip for manufacturing test. KEY TOPICS: Covers every phase of design -- from layout to architecture. Discusses design problems and techniques specific to custom IC design, and CMOS ICs in particular; and presents other techniques that are useful in almost any implementation technology -- gate arrays, programmable logic devices. etc. For computer scientists, electrical engineer, IC designers, and CAD engineers.
