Working from the fundamentals of transistor-level design and building up to system-level considerations, Digital Integrated Circuit Design shows students with minimal background in electronics how to design state-of-the-art high performance digital integrated circuits. Ideal as an upper-level undergraduate text, it can also be used in first-year graduate courses and as a reference for practicing engineers. Digital Integrated Circuit Design: BL Presents transistor-level details first, building up to system considerations BL Emphasizes CMOS technology but also includes in-depth explanations of designing in bipolar, BiCMOS, and GaAs technologies BL Features modern, well-designed examples and problems BL Covers important system-level considerations such as timing, pipelining, clock distribution, and system building blocks in detail BL Discusses key elements of semiconductor physics, integrated circuit processing, transistor-level design, logic-level design, system-level design, testing, and more BL Provides physical and intuitive explanations throughout BL Emphasizes conceptual thinking and design methodology over detailed circuit analysis techniques
