Principles of CMOS VLSI Design [Hardcover]

Neil H. E. Weste (Author), Kamran Eshraghian (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0201533766 | ISBN-13: 978-0201533767 | Publication Date: October 1994 | Edition: 2

With this revision, Weste conveys an understanding of CMOS technology, circuit design, layout, and system design sufficient to the designer. The book deals with the technology down to the layout level of detail, thereby providing a bridge from a circuit to a form that may be fabricated. The early chapters provide a circuit view of the CMOS IC design, the middle chapters cover a sub-system view of CMOS VLSI, and the final section illustrates these techniques using a real-world case study.

technology, circuit design, layout, and system design sufficient to feel confident with the technology. The book deals the technology down to the layout level of detail, thereby providing a bridge from a circuit to a form that may be fabricated. The early chapters provide a circuit view of the CMOS IC design, the middle chapters cover a sub-system view of CMOS VLSI, and the final section illustrates these techniques through the use of a case study. This capstone section ties together the preceding chapters and gives the student a feel for real-world design.

Features

Updates all the technology sections to sub-micron CMOS, technology that has played an increasingly important part in the integrated circuit industry. Emphasizes semi-custom and other design approaches. Expands the subsystem section to include more building blocks. Provides an introductory section to familiarize the reader with the terminology and some important building blocks. Covers performance estimation in detail.

Features New to this Edition

Addresses the growing need designers to produce a VLSI product correctly and within a specified time frame and budget. Expanded section on testing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for Beginners!!!!, July 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Principles of CMOS VLSI Design (Hardcover)

I own many engineering books and most of the authors of these books have a hard time getting the point across. However, "Principles of CMOS VLSI Design" by Weste is an excellent book: very comprehensive, very detailed, and very clear in his explanations of the various topics covered in this book. As an undergraduate, I recommend this book to all engineering students. Also, I am currently interning at this engineering company and most of the engineers that work there own this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best choice for Beginner wanting to be a IC designer, April 18, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Principles of CMOS VLSI Design (Hardcover)

I have read the 1th ed. of this book and reading the 2ed ed. now. This books is so easyly to be understood, even by a foreigner. This book emphasis the principles learned in college. And introduce more trends about the CMOS technology. After readed the books, let me become a experienced IC designer quickly with layout,circut,subsystem, especially the system concept that general not learned in college.This books is the best choice for IC design beginner just comming from college.

This review is from: Principles of CMOS VLSI Design (Hardcover)

Great book for beginners. I would recommend reading the first half of the book and then reading "Skew Tolerant Circuit Design" and then "Logical Effort." These books will give a circuit designer the basic tools to circuit design.
