The first of two volumes in the Electronic Design Automation for Integrated Circuits Handbook, Second Edition, Electronic Design Automation for IC System Design, Verification, and Testing thoroughly examines system-level design, microarchitectural design, logic verification, and testing. Chapters contributed by leading experts authoritatively discuss processor modeling and design tools, using performance metrics to select microprocessor cores for integrated circuit (IC) designs, design and verification languages, digital simulation, hardware acceleration and emulation, and much more.
New to This Edition:
- Major updates appearing in the initial phases of the design flow, where the level of abstraction keeps rising to support more functionality with lower non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs
- Significant revisions reflected in the final phases of the design flow, where the complexity due to smaller and smaller geometries is compounded by the slow progress of shorter wavelength lithography
- New coverage of cutting-edge applications and approaches realized in the decade since publication of the previous edition-these are illustrated by new chapters on high-level synthesis, system-on-chip (SoC) block-based design, and back-annotating system-level models
Offering improved depth and modernity, Electronic Design Automation for IC System Design, Verification, and Testing provides a valuable, state-of-the-art reference for electronic design automation (EDA) students, researchers, and professionals.
Revised edition of: EDA for IC system design, verification, and testing. 2006.
Praise for the Electronic Design Automation for Integrated Circuits Handbook, Second Edition - Two-Volume Set
"? contains the most up-to-date nuts and bolts of the front-end and back-end design automations. ? covers every single EDA aspect imaginable in vivid detail. ? This book will be very useful for master's and PhD students who are doing their theses in IC design. ? This is by far the most comprehensive book on EDA in the market. Every IC design company should purchase this book as a reference for their engineers."-Faisal Mohd-Yasin, Griffith University, Queensland, Australia
"? comprehensive coverage of all aspects of algorithms and EDA tools for modern VLSI design, starting from system design to GDSII tape out, including testing. ... Practicing engineers and graduate and undergraduate students will find these two volumes to be sources of extensive knowledge. ? This book is well written with in-depth explanation of basic concepts as well as advanced topics."-Dr. Soumya Pandit, Institute of Radio Physics and Electronics, University of Calcutta, India
