Short Description

Die zunehmende Komplexität der VLSI (Very Large-Scale Integrated)-Systeme wie alle modernen Mikroprozessoren führte zu einer wachsenden Nachfrage nach einer Automatisierung von deren Design. Jetzt liegt erstmals ein Buch vor, das alle Stadien des automatisierten Prozesses erläutert, von der Layout-Synthese über die logische Synthese bis zur High-level-Synthese. Klar und präzise geschrieben, mit vielen Beispielen und über 200 informativen Abbildungen. (01/99)

Modern microprocessors such as Intel's Pentium chip typically contain millions of transitors. Known generically as Very Large-Scale Integrated (VLSI) systems, the chips have a scale and complexity that has necessitated the development of CAD tools to automate their design. This book focuses on the algorithms which are the building blocks of the design automation software which generates the layout of VLSI circuits. One of the first books on the subject, this guide covers all stages of design.

Index.
The author, Sabih Gerez, has based the book on a course given to his students at the University of Twente, Enschede, in the Netherlands. As an assistant professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering, he teaches courses on circuit theory and VLSI design. His research focuses on VLSI design automation, especially high-level synthesis. Dr Gerez holds an M.Sc. degree (with honors) in Electrical Engineering and a Ph.D. degree in Applied Sciences, both from the University of Twente.
