This unique guide to designing digital VLSI circuits takes a top-down approach, reflecting the nature
of the design process in industry. Starting with architecture design, the book explains the why and
how of digital design, using the physics that designers need to know, and no more.
Covering system and component aspects, design verification, VHDL modelling, clocking, signal
integrity, layout, electrical overstress, field-programmable logic, economic issues, and more, the
scope of the book is singularly comprehensive.
With a focus on CMOS technology, numerous examples — VHDL code, architectural concepts,
and failure reports — practical guidelines, and design checklists, this engaging textbook for senior
undergraduate and graduate courses on digital ICs will prepare students for the realities of chip
design.
Practitioners will also find the book valuable for its insights and its practical approach.
