Unique in approach, this text offers a comprehensive coverage of new design methodologies and implementation strategies of digital ICs and brings to the forefront a number of new issues that impact the reliability, cost, performance, and power dissipation of chips now reaching the 100-nm realm. This means increased importance in circuit design of deep submicron transistor effects, interconnect, signal integrity, high-performance and low-power design, timing and clock distribution. In contrast to the first edition, the present text focuses entirely on CMOS ICs. While introducing these changes, the text preserves the spirit and goals of the first edition-that is, it successfully bridges the gap between the circuit and system visions on digital design.
Beginning with solid discussions on the operation of electronic devices and in-depth analysis of the nucleus of digital design-the inverter-the text gradually channels this knowledge into the design of more complex modules such as gates, controllers, adders, multipliers, and memories. Actual design examples and layouts are interspersed throughout the text. Besides numerous examples, each chapter also contains a number of problems or brain teasers that provoke thinking and understanding while reading. ISBN 9788120322578
