Features: Digital IC System Design is a highly practical field. IC designers often find that what they learn from books has a certain distance from practice. This book combines advanced tools and design methods to provide an in-depth discussion on several important topics in IC system design. The book is divided into 9 chapters. Chapter 1 outlines the IC design process and commonly used EDA tools; Chapter 2 introduces algorithm and architecture design, providing an overview of the development of digital signal processing algorithms, AMBA on-chip bus, and SystemC design language; Chapter 3 explains some important issues in RTL design and provides HDL design guidelines; Chapter 4 provides an in-depth explanation of logic synthesis libraries, which is the foundation for understanding logic synthesis and static timing analysis; Chapter 5 introduces advanced synthesis techniques, including automatic chip synthesis and physical synthesis; Chapter 6 provides a more thorough elaboration on testability design; Chapter 7 explains some important topics in static timing analysis; Chapter 8 introduces formal verification techniques used in practice; Chapter 9 discusses low-power design techniques. This book is primarily aimed at IC designers and can also serve as a reference for faculty and students of relevant majors in higher education institutions.
