Features: As a designer in the IC field, one should be proficient in circuit fundamentals, hardware design languages, EDA tools, application protocols, and other knowledge. This book, from an engineering development perspective and combined with practical examples, systematically introduces these topics, helping readers understand standardized design processes, improve design skills, and overcome the challenges of chip design. The book is divided into 7 chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the IC design process, the use of common tools, and the Verilog design language; Chapter 2 covers the design of sequential circuits; Chapter 3 explains the synthesis tool DC and analyzes the hardware implementation of basic language structures; Chapter 4 provides the construction of some common modules; Chapter 5 discusses the structure and design of memory; Chapter 6 introduces the design of image and video chips; and Chapter 7 covers the design of CISC and RISC processors. Each chapter includes exercises to help readers assess their level of understanding. Highlighting practical applications, emphasizing the learning of design languages through circuit structures, emphasizing a "hardware-oriented" mindset, and emphasizing standardized design styles are the key features of this book. The code and scripts in the book are carefully selected and representative, serving as valuable references for readers in practice. This book can be used as a training textbook for IC design or as a reference for related technical personnel.
