Description
Pearson Digital Integrated Circuits: A Design Perspective, 2/E by Jan M Rabaey and Anantha Chandrakasan and Borivoje Nikolic
Progressive in content and form, this text successfully bridges the gap between the circuit perspective and system perspective of digital integrated circuit design. Beginning with solid discussions on the operation of electronic devices and in-depth analysis of the nucleus of digital design, the text maintains a consistent, logical flow of subject matter throughout. The revision addresses today's most significant and compelling industry topics, including: the impact of interconnect, design for low power, issues in timing and clocking, design methodologies, and the tremendous effect of design automation on the digital design perspective. The revision reflects the ongoing evolution in digital integrated circuit design, especially with respect to the impact of moving into the deep-ubmicron realm.
Salient Features
NEW - Updating of technology of the deep-submicron realm—The piece makes sure that updates
to most of the numeric values with respect to advancing processes can be accomplished easily.
Interconnect material takes a more predominant position and is moved forward in the
presentation.
A number of the circuit techniques have been removed or updated or newer approaches have
been introduced—Reflects the changes in design approaches over the last decade.
A chapter on manufacturing technology has been introduced—Design methodologies
are introduced throughout the text in synchronicity with the circuit content.
Design methodology inserts—Discuss design automation.
