A Practical Approach to VLSI System on Chip (SoC) Design: A Comprehensive Guide

by Veena S. Chakravarthi

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the VLSI design process. It covers end-to-end system on chip (SoC) design, including design methodology, the design environment, tools, choice of design components, handoff procedures, and design infrastructure needs. The book also offers critical guidance on the latest UPF-based low power design flow issues for deep submicron SOC designs, which will prepare readers for the challenges of working at the nanotechnology scale. This practical guide will provide engineers who aspire to be VLSI designers with the techniques and tools of the trade, and will also be a valuable professional reference for those already working in VLSI design and verification with a focus on complex SoC designs.

A comprehensive practical guide for VLSI designers;Covers end-to-end VLSI SoC design flow;Includes source code, case studies, and application examples.

This is a fairly complete, well-written book that outlines a generic SoC design flow from specification to final silicon. While it can't be classified as a textbook, it would provide a good introduction to the main concepts and the jargon of the SoC design trade. Subjects that are generally ignored by introductory level textbooks such as packaging, power-aware design and physical verification are covered in sufficient detail. Recommended for engineers just starting their SoC design careers or the seasoned SoC design engineer who needs to refresh his knowledge in all aspects of chip design.
