Features: The book is organized around the concept of System-on-Chip (SoC) and elaborates on the design methodology, design languages, design processes, implementation methods, and verification methods of EDA engineering. It can serve as a reference for scientists and engineers in the field of integrated circuits, as well as for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in microelectronics, electronic circuits, communications, computer science, and related disciplines. The book covers the theoretical foundations of EDA engineering and the design methodology of System-on-Chip (SoC). Chapters 1–3 discuss the development history of electronic design automation (EDA), common design methods, the design process of integrated circuits, and integrated design environments. Chapter 4 introduces the basics of the VerilogHDL language. Chapter 5 provides a detailed explanation of the VHDL programming methodology. Chapter 6 covers the hardware/software co-design language—SystemC. Chapter 7 introduces the use of a renowned SoC design tool. Chapter 8 elaborates on the testability design methods and algorithm verification methods for integrated circuits. Chapter 9 discusses the implementation methods of SoC chips and the advancements in EDA engineering methodology. The book is organized around the concept of System-on-Chip (SoC) and elaborates on the design methodology, design languages, design processes, implementation methods, and verification methods of EDA engineering.
