Synopsis

This book provides broad and comprehensive coverage of the entire EDA flow. EDA/VLSI practitioners and researchers in need of fluency in an "adjacent" field will find this an invaluable reference to the basic EDA concepts, principles, data structures, algorithms, and architectures for the design, verification, and test of VLSI circuits. Anyone who needs to learn the concepts, principles, data structures, algorithms, and architectures of the EDA flow will benefit from this book.

• Covers complete spectrum of the EDA flow, from ESL design modeling to logic/test synthesis, verification, physical design, and test - helps EDA newcomers to get "up-and-running" quickly
• Includes comprehensive coverage of EDA concepts, principles, data structures, algorithms, and architectures - helps all readers improve their VLSI design competence
• Contains latest advancements not yet available in other books, including Test compression, ESL design modeling, large-scale floorplanning, placement, routing, synthesis of clock and power/ground networks - helps readers to design/develop testable chips or products
• Includes industry best-practices wherever appropriate in most chapters - helps readers avoid costly mistakes

From the Back Cover

As semiconductor applications continue to advance and proliferate, the industry is increasingly dependent on design technologies for design closure and for meeting productivity goals. Electronic design automation (EDA), which has driven advances in design technologies for the past 30 years, will continue to play a critical role in the semiconductor food chain.

This book brings together a set of core EDA topics which provides an essential, fundamental understanding of the EDA tasks and the design process. Collectivley, these topics cover the core knowledge, software tools, algorithms, methodologies, and infrastructure required to optimize synthesis, verification, and manufacturing test of a functional and reliable integrated circuit.

The contents found within this book will enable the reader to understand fundamental EDA algorithms for synthesis and verification as well as very-large-scale intergartion (VLSI) test principles and DFT architectures to tackle EDA and test problems as advances in technology enter the nanometer era.
