"Progressive in content and form, this text successfully bridges the gap between the circuit perspective and system perspective of digital integrated circuit design. Beginning with solid discussions on the operation of electronic devices and in-depth analysis of the nucleus of digital design, the text maintains a consistent, logical flow of subject matter throughout. The revision addresses today's most significant and compelling industry topics, including: the impact of interconnect, design for low power, issues in timing and clocking, design methodologies, and the tremendous effect of design

…few players can play (ie. big manufacturers like intel and TSMC, maybe top universities/research centres). You can try some introductory books like Introduction to Microelectronic Fabrication [1] and Digital Integrated Circuits [2] by Rabaey if you're curious - You can design ASICs without being an "expert" on the low level stuff, but the tools are very expensive (unless you're a student and your college has access to those…
on “Ask HN: Where do I get started on ASICs, FPGA, RTL, Verilog et. al?” ↗…equations: Inverter, NAND, NOR, etc. (Look up a CMOS Inverter to know what I'm talking about.) Pretty easy, right!?! I want to encourage you to look at the following references, in order. (1) CMOS Digital Integrated Circuits by Kang and Leblebici --the best digital VLSI book ever (2) Digital Logic Circuit Analysis & Design by Nelson et al. --tough book on digital logic, but pretty good (3) Computer System Architecture by…
