For Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering courses that cover the design and technology of very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits and systems. May also be used as a VLSI reference for professional VLSI design engineers, VLSI design managers, and VLSI CAD engineers.
Modern VSLI Design provides a comprehensive “bottom-up” guide to the design of VSLI systems, from the physical design of circuits through system architecture with focus on the latest solution for system-on-chip (SOC) design. Because VSLI system designers face a variety of challenges that include high performance, interconnect delays, low power, low cost, and fast design turnaround time, successful designers must understand the entire design process. The Third Edition also provides a much more thorough discussion of hardware description languages, with introduction to both Verilog and VHDL. For that reason, this book presents the entire VSLI design process in a single volume.

Preface
Preface to the Third Edition
This third edition of Modern VLSI Design includes both incremental refinements and new topics. All these changes are designed to help keep up with the fast pace of advancements in VLSI technology and design.
The incremental refinements in the book include improvements in the discussion of low power design, the chip project, and the lexicon. Low power design was discussed in the second edition, but has become even more complex due to the higher leakages found at smaller transistor sizes. The PDP-8 used in previous editions has been replaced with a more modern data path design. Designing a complete computer is beyond the scope of most VLSI courses, but a data path makes a good class project. I have also tried to make the lexicon a more comprehensive guide to the terms in the book.
This edition shows more major improvements to the discussions of interconnect and hardware description languages. Interconnect has become increasingly important over the past few years, with interconnect delays often dominating total delay. I decided it was time to fully embrace the importance of interconnect, especially with the advent of copper interconnect. This third edition now talks more thoroughly about interconnect models, crosstalk, and interconnect-centric logic design.
The third editon also incorporates a much more thorough discussion of hardware description languages. Chapter 8, which describes architectural design, now introduces VHDL and Verilog as the major hardware description languages. Though these sections are not meant to be thorough manuals for these languages, they should provide enough information for the reader to understand the major concepts of the languages and to be able to read design examples in those languages.
As with the second edition, you can find additional helpful material on the World Wide Web at http://www.ee.princeton.edu/~wolf/modern-vlsi. This site includes overheads useful either for teaching or for self-paced learning. The site also includes supplementary materials, such as layouts and HDL descriptions. Instructors may request a book of answers to the problems in the book by calling Prentice Hall directly.
