EE E4321 - VLSI Circuits
Textbook information
These books are all on reserve in the Columbia Engineering Library.
Required text:
-
Weste and Harris, CMOS VLSI Design: A
Circuits and Systems Perspective, Addison-Wesley, 2010. Fourth Edition!
Other useful books:
-
Rabaey, Chandrakasan, and Nikolic, Digital integrated circuits: a
design perspective, Prentice-Hall, 2003. (Please note that this is the
Second Edition of the original Rabaey text. Prof. Rabaey's book has become
the "industry standard" textbook for introductory VLSI design courses.)
-
Glasser and Dobberpuhl, The Design and Analysis of VLSI Circuits,
Addison-Wesley. (This is an excellent circuits book, although it has
unfortunately become a little dated.)
-
Y. Taur and T. H. Ning, Fundamentals of Modern VLSI Devices, Cambridge
University Press. (This is a really excellent device physics book, probably the
best one available today.)
-
Uyemura, Circuit Design for CMOS VLSI, Kluwer.
-
Bernstein, Carrig, Durham, Hogenmiller, Nowak, and Rohrer, High Speed CMOS
Design Styles, Kluwer. (An excellent "encyclopedia" of practical digital
circuits.)
-
Sutherland, Sproull, and Harris, Logical effort: design fast CMOS circuits,
Morgan Kaufmann. (Very readable text on gain-based tuning of digital circuits.)
-
D. Harris, Skew-tolerant circuit design, Morgan Kaufmann. (An excellent
book for understanding timing issues in digital integrated circuits; a great
reference for the lectures on latches and clocking.)
