He presents deeper coverage of logic design fundamentals, clocking and timing, and much more. No other VLSI guide presents as much up-to-date information for maximizing performance, minimizing power utilization, and achieving rapid design turnarounds. ”


Coverage includes:
*All-new material on IP-based design
*Extensive new coverage of networks-on-chips
*New coverage of using FPGA fabrics to improve design flexibility
*New material on image sensors, busses, Rent’s Rule, pipelining, and more
*Updated VLSI technology parameters reflecting the latest advances
*Revised descriptions of HDLs and other VLSI design tools
*Advanced techniques for overcoming bottlenecks and reducing crosstalk
*Low-power design techniques for enhancing reliability and extending battery life
*Testing solutions for every level of abstraction, from gates to architecture
*Revamped end-of-chapter problems that fully reflect today’s VLSI design challenges
*Wolf introduces a top-down, systematic design methodology that begins with high-level models, extends from circuits to architecture, and facilitates effective testing. Along the way, he brings together all the skills VLSI design professionals will need to create tomorrow’s state-of-the-art devices.
