Product Description A new edition of this title is available, ISBN-10: 0137145004 ISBN-13: 9780137145003 For Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering courses that cover the design and technology of very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits and systems. May also be used as a VLSI reference for professional VLSI design engineers, VLSI design managers, and VLSI CAD engineers. Modern VSLI Design provides a comprehensive “bottom-up” guide to the design of VSLI systems, from the physical design of circuits through system architecture with focus on the latest solution for system-on-chip (SOC) design. Because VSLI system designers face a variety of challenges that include high performance, interconnect delays, low power, low cost, and fast design turnaround time, successful designers must understand the entire design process. The Third Edition also provides a much more thorough discussion of hardware description languages, with introduction to both Verilog and VHDL. For that reason, this book presents the entire VSLI design process in a single volume. From the Back Cover 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 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 (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. About the Author WAYNE WOLF is Professor of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University. Before joining Princeton, he was with AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, New Jersey. He received B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1980, 1981, and 1984, respectively. His research interests include VLSI embedded computing, VLSI CAD, and multimedia information systems. He is also the author of Computers as Components: Principles of Embedded Computing Systems. Wolf has been elected to Phi Beta Kappa and Tau Beta Pi. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and ACM and a member of SPIE. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Preface to the Third Edition This third edition of Modern VLSI Design includes both incremental refinements and new topics. All these changes are designed to help keep up with the fast pace of advancements in VLSI technology and design. The incremental refinements in the book include improvements in the discussion of low power design, the chip project, and the lexicon. Low power design was discussed in the second edition, but has become even more complex due to the higher leakages found at smaller transistor
