INTRODUCTION TO VLSI CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS (W/CD)

Written for students in electrical or computer engineering taking their first VLSI course, this text will serve to introduce students to the field of digital VLSI design. Introduction to VLSI Circuits and Systems is a comprehensive treatment of modern VLSI design. Treatment revolves around the design hierarchy used in the engineering of large, complex digital systems.
A unique CD-ROM accompanies the text and provides versions of Verilog and SPICE simulators allowing students to have immediate access to the programs used in the text, though is not necessary for using the text. The CD-ROM also offers a PC-based presentation on CMOS layout using stick diagrams giving students the opportunity to see color-coding and examples without having to resort to color printing.
