Features: Whether in theory or practice, the "Electronic Design Automation (EDA) Handbook" is an indispensable reference book and a great choice for CAE professionals. This book is suitable for all modern electronic development in industrial practice. For this purpose, it encompasses practical and closely related information in this field, including:
■ ASIC system design using modern CAE methods
■ Advanced design language VHDL
■ Modeling in analog and digital domains
■ Programmable logic circuits
■ Layout and routing systems
■ Printed circuit board design and MCM technology
■ Circuit testing during the development process
The book is divided into design input, verification, and physical implementation, and also includes an EDA supplementary exercise. The examples in the exercise are discussed and solved in various ways. The rich appendices provide information on relevant organizations, associations, acronyms, and concepts. The book offers a foundation in EDA applications. Through numerous illustrative diagrams, complex topics are made easy to understand without sacrificing scientific rigor. Each contributor has provided references corresponding to their articles. Many examples in the book are combined with practical applications, real design values, and simulation results, serving as references for readers when solving similar problems.
The book comprehensively introduces the main steps of integrated circuit design, different methods and tools for design specification, synthesis, simulation, and verification, hardware description languages and model implementation, as well as design techniques for circuits, modules, and systems at various abstraction levels. The content of the book goes beyond the common understanding of EDA, with its distinctive feature being the presentation of the full scope of EDA technology to readers, enabling them to gain a comprehensive understanding and recognition. The book is rich in content and highly practical, making it suitable as a teaching reference for electronic engineering majors in higher education institutions, as well as for professionals in integrated circuit design, integrated circuit technology, and related fields.
