Modern VLSI Design

Modern VLSI Design, System-on-Chip Design, Third Edition is a comprehensive, "bottom-up" guide to the entire VLSI design process, focusing on the latest solutions for system-on-chip design. Wayne Wolf reviews every aspect of digital design, from planning and layout to fabrication and packaging -- adding up-to-the-minute coverage of key trends every practitioner must understand, from the latest HDLs to IP-based design.KEY TOPICS:Modern VLSI Design, System-on-Chip Design, Third Edition has been updated to reflect today's unprecedented requirements for chips that deliver high performance and low power. Wolf presents extensive new coverage of chip device interconnects designed to solve delay bottlenecks. He introduces advanced low-power design techniques that improve reliability and extend battery life in portable consumer electronics, covering power issues at every level of abstraction, from circuits to architecture. This edition contains significantly enhanced coverage of hardware description languages, including detailed introductions to both Verilog and HDL. Wolf also presents new guidance for architecting both IP-based and embedded processors.MARKET:For all electrical engineers involved with (or planning to become involved with) VLSI design.
