Description
Basic VLSI Design is a computers textbook jointly written by Douglas A. Pucknell and Kamran Eshraghian. This revised textbook has been updated and it covers several topics such as nMos, BiCMOS, CMOS and gallium arsenide technologies in every aspect. It presents readers with a direct and inclusive treatment of VLSI design processes and rules of designs. This is particularly helpful for novice digital system designers or students. This book contains several chapters on review of microelectronics, introduction to MOS technology, MOS and BiCMOS circuit design processes, basic electrical properties of MOS and BiCMOS circuits, MOS circuit scaling, basic concepts of circuits, subsystem design processes, subsystem design and layout, illustration of the design processes, memory, registers and aspects of system timings, computational elements, practical aspects and testability, ultra-fast VLSI circuits and systems, CMOS design projects, introduction to GaAs technologies and a few other references for further reading. This book includes a successful and innovative design methodology based on the ring diagrams for GaAs circuits. It also includes an expanded and better coverage of arithmetic circuits, scaling and an in-depth treatment of the micro technologies meant for the design of different VLSI circuits. Basic VLSI Design was published by PHI-Restricted in 1995. This book is the third edition available in paperback. Key Features: Basic VLSI Design offers a lucid treatment of the important aspects of silicon circuits. It also gives readers a well-founded and logical development of design processes and parameters.
