Summary

For advanced courses in Computer Engineering, Computer Systems, Electrical Engineering, Logic/Digital Design, and VLSI Design. This book offers comprehensive coverage of the important problems in VLSI system design, the minimization of power consumption at every level of abstraction—from circuits to architecture, and new insights into design-for-testability techniques that maximize quality despite quicker turnaround times. Emphasizing CMOS technology, the book describes essential concepts and the links between circuit, logic, and system design.
