Modern VLSI Design System-on-Chip Design

The state of the art in VLSI design: layouts, circuits, logic, floorplanning, and architectures New techniques for maximizing performance and minimizing power usage Extensive new coverage of advanced interconnect models, including copper Up-to-the-minute coverage of IP-based design Detailed HDL introductions: Verilog and VHDL The #1 VLSI design guide-now fully updated to reflect the latest advances in SoC designModern 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 (SoC) design. Wayne Wolf reviews every aspect of digital design, from planning and layout to fabrication and packaging, introducing today's most advanced techniques for maximizing performance, minimizing power utilization, and achieving rapid design turnarounds. Coverage includes: Advanced interconnect models: new techniques for overcoming delay bottlenecks, reducing crosstalk, and modeling copper interconnect Advanced low-power design techniques for enhancing reliability and extending battery life in portable consumer electronics Testing solutions for every level of abstraction, from circuits to architecture Practical IP-based design solutions A thorough overview of HDLs, including new introductions to Verilog and VHDL Techniques for improving testability, embedded processors, and more VLSI design for today's high-performance, low-power devices requires broader, deeper skills than ever before. Modern VLSI Design, System-on-Chip Design, Third Edition brings together those skills in a single, comprehensive resource that will be invaluable to every VLSI design engineer and manager.
