Modern VLSI Design Charlotte Stedman

VLSI or very-large-scale integration is a process of designing an integrated circuit (IC) by combining a large number of transistors or devices into a single chip. The microprocessor is a common example of a VLSI device. Before the advent of VLSI design, ICs performed a limited set of functions. Modern designs employ extensive automated logic synthesis and design automation to lay out the transistors. This enables higher levels of complexity in logic functionality. High-performance logic blocks, such as SRAM cell or static random-access memory cell are manually designed to ensure maximum efficiency. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments in the field of VLSI design in the modern scenario. Some of the diverse topics covered in this book address the varied aspects of VLSI systems. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
