ASIC Design and Synthesis

This book describes simple to complex ASIC design practical scenarios using Verilog. It builds a story from the basic fundamentals of ASIC designs to advanced RTL design concepts using Verilog. Looking at current trends of miniaturization, the contents provide practical information on the issues in ASIC design and synthesis using Synopsys DC and their solution. The book explains how to write efficient RTL using Verilog and how to improve design performance. It also covers architecture design strategies, multiple clock domain designs, low-power design techniques, DFT, pre-layout STA and the overall ASIC design flow with case studies. The contents of this book will be useful to practicing hardware engineers, students, and hobbyists looking to learn about ASIC design and synthesis.

Unique to interpretation of ASIC design using Verilog Practical ASIC design scenarios and issues and helpful to professionals More than 150 practical examples for ASIC design, Synthesis and timing analysis Key case studies in the generic form and design synthesis and timing closure for ASIC
