内容简介

Information you can put straight to work!ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits)and SOCs (Systems On a Chip) are among the hottest topics in semiconductor chip design today. If you're a front-end or back-end chip designer looking to learn the latest techniques and methodologies, this book is for you.From ASICs to SOts: A Practical Approach explains ASIC and SOC design and verification for the real world--by covering the same issues and dilemmas you'll face on the job!An emphasis on techniques and principles over the particulars of design tools gives you a deeper understanding of the material and will make you much more effective in your work,regardless which tools you use.
Topics include:
·Methodologies and design flows for front-end and back-end designs
·Modern physical design techniques
·Integration of IPs on SOC designs
·Low-power design techniques and methodologies
·VolP (Voice over IP) and STB (Set-Top Box) SOC design examples
·Tips and guidelines for front-end and back-end designs
With content centering on practical and current information and techniques, From ASICs to SOCs: A Practical Approach is intended for self-study by practical ASIC and SOC engineers.It also makes an excellent reference book for graduate students in electrical engineering.
