Summary Of The Book Digital Integrated Circuits: A Design Perspective provides a comprehensive coverage of the implementation strategies and new design methodologies of digital integrated circuits. This text also talks about the new issues that impact performance, power dissipation, cost, and reliability of chips that are now as small as 100nm. This translates as increased importance in designing circuits, while considering deep submicron transistor effects, interconnect, low-power design and high-performance, and timing as well as clock distribution.
This text, unlike the first edition, focuses completely on CMOS ICs. Although new changes have been introduced in this edition, the core aspects of the earlier edition, such as the goal and spirit of the text, have been left untouched.
Digital Integrated Circuits: A Design Perspective opens with a discussion on the operation of electronic devices and a detailed analysis of the inverter, considered the nucleus of digital design. The text then flows into the design of modules such as adders, controllers, gates, memories, and multipliers.
There are three parts to the text, namely The Fabrics, A Circuit Perspective, and A System Perspective, and a total of twelve chapters contained within them. Each chapter of the text also contains numerous examples and brain teasers or exercise problems that helps the reader think about and understand the material better. The chapters are fed with actual design layouts and examples to aid the readers’ understanding. Solved design problems can be accessed by the readers on the website http://bwrc.eecs.berkeley.edu/IcBook.
This text is intended for use by undergraduate and postgraduate students of electronics studying digital circuit design.
