From the Back Cover

Techniques for the latest deep-submicron, mega-chip projects.

The start-to-finish, state-of-the-art guide to VLSI design.

VLSI design is system design.

To build high-performance, cost-effective ICs, you must understand all aspects of digital design, from planning and layout to fabrication and packaging. Modern VLSI Design, Second Edition: Systems on Silicon is a comprehensive, "bottom-up" guide to the entire VLSI design process. Emphasizing CMOS, it focuses on the crucial challenges of deep-submicron VLSI design.

Coverage includes:

• Devices and layouts: transistor structures and characteristics, wires, vias, parasitics, design rules, layout design and tools.
• Logic gates and combinational logic networks, including interconnect delay and crosstalk.
• Sequential machines and sequential system design.
• Subsystem design, including high-speed adders, multipliers, ROM, SRAM, SRAM, PGAs and PLAs.
• Floorplanning, clock distribution and power distribution.
• Architecture design, including VHDL, scheduling, function unit selection, power and testability.
• Chip design methodologies, CAD systems and algorithms.

Modern VLSI Design, Second Edition: Systems on Silicon offers a complete yet accessible introduction to crosstalk models and optimization. It covers minimizing power consumption at every level of abstraction, from circuits to architecture and new insights into design-for-testability techniques that maximize quality despite quicker turnarounds. It also presents detailed coverage of the algorithms underlying contemporary VLSI computer-aided design software, so designers can understand their tools no matter which ones they choose. Whether you're a practicing professional or advanced student, this is the sophisticated VLSI design knowledge you need to succeed with tomorrow's most challenging projects.
