Modern VLSI Design, Fourth Edition, offers up-to-the-minute guidance for the entire VLSI design process—from architecture and logic design through layout and packaging. The book introduces powerful new IP-based design techniques at all three levels: gates, subsystems, and architecture. It presents deeper coverage of logic design fundamentals, clocking and timing, and much more. Coverage includes : 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
