Chip designing is a complex task that requires an in-depth understanding of VLSI design flow, skills to employ sophisticated design tools, and keeping pace with the bleeding-edge semiconductor technologies. This lucid textbook is focused on fulfilling these requirements for students, as well as a refresher for professionals in the industry. It helps the user develop a holistic view of the design flow through a well-sequenced set of chapters on logic synthesis, verification, physical design, and testing. Illustrations and pictorial representations have been used liberally to simplify the explanation. Additionally, each chapter has a set of activities that can be performed using freely available tools and provide hands-on experience with the design tools. Review questions and problems are given at the end of each chapter to revise the concepts. Recent trends and references are listed at the end of each chapter for further reading.
- Comprehensive coverage of all three aspects of the VLSI design flow - design implementation, verification, and testing
- Perfect blend of theoretical understanding and practical applications using industry-standard EDA tools
- List of activities in each chapter that can be performed using open-source tools provides deeper understanding of the implementation of the theory
- More than 300 examples, illustrations, and figures help with the visualisation of the concepts
- Wide range of practice problems and examples help further consolidate the knowledge gained
- An online supplements package includes course outlines for instructors and solutions to the numerical problems and suggested solutions to the activities for students
