CMOS VLSI Design: A Circuits and Systems Perspective

Bys: Weste, Neil H. E. and Harris, David

For both introductory and advanced courses in VLSI design, this authoritative, comprehensive textbook is highly accessible to beginners, yet offers unparalleled breadth and depth for more experienced readers. The Fourth Edition of CMOS VLSI Design: A Circuits and Systems perspective presents broad and in-depth coverage of the entire field of modern CMOS VLSI Design. The authors draw upon extensive industry and classroom experience to introduce today's most advanced and effective chip design practices. They present extensively updated coverage of every key element of VLSI design, and illuminate the latest design challenges with 65 nm process examples. This book contains unsurpassed circuit-level coverage, as well as a rich set of problems and worked examples that provide deep practical insight to readers at all levels.

Excellent

This edition is as useful as the earlier editions. Besides providing insight on almost all the topics of VLSI, the third edition also addresses several issues related to the sub-micron technology.

Rich engineering information from practice in VLSI

I have more than 15 integrated circuit design text books, this new edition is one of the best. It bridges academy with industry for VLSI, I like the part about "pitfalls" very much, it provides real lessons what industry has experienced. I like the way this book surveys related topics, for example, sequential circuits topics. It has a brief and good coverage on low power topic(covered in sections in differenct chapters). It...

Fantastic Text

The best book on VLSI out there! A must for all designers and professionals. This book gives insight that very few books on VLSI give. Its a treasure and a book to remain in one's collection well after that first, difficult yet exciting, semester in VLSI. A superlative book and read!

The best book on CMOS VLSI Design

This is a weird world: there are so many CMOS circuit experts in the whole world, whereas there are so few CMOS circuit books to plot what in their heads when they play with CMOS devices! This book is the reason. I think it is the true bible for CMOS design. By the way, the authors are really generous, they provide the most valuable three chapters online for free download! When I downloaded and read these three chapters,...

An excellent & comprehensive undergraduate reference

Looking to build a small collection of books in the area of issues related to the design of modern CMOS circuitry, I came across this book. A PhD candidate friend of mine recommended this book as "the CMOS designer's bible." I was not at all disappointed. Unlike many other books in this area, this is not merely a collection of disparate and hard-to-understand journal articles, but rather a real college textbook written...
