Physical Design Essentials : An ASIC Design Implementation Perspective
Physical Design Essentials explains the basic steps required in the physical design of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). The subject matter presentation follows the industry-common ASIC physical design flow. Topics covered include: Basic standard cell design, transistor-sizing, and layout styles / Linear, non-linear, and polynomial characterization / Physical design constraints and floor planning styles / Algorithms used for placement / Clock tree synthesis / Algorithms used for global and detailed routing / Parasitic extraction / Functional timing and physical methods of verification / Testing Techniques
Analog Design Essentials
The book starts with elementary stages in building up operational amplifiers. The synthesis of opamps is covered in great detail, such that lowest power consumption is always guaranteed. Many examples are included, operating at low supply voltages. Chapters on noise, distortion, filters, ADC/DACs and oscillators follow. These are all based on the extensive amount of teaching that the author has carried out both at universities and companies world-wide. All chapters have been drawn up specifically for self-study. They aim, however, at different levels of understanding. All start with elementary material. Most chapters also contain advanced material, especially from Chapter 9 onwards.
