From: Weng Tianxiang on 16 Mar 2010 13:10 Hi, I want to buy books on CMOS digital circuit designs. Any advice on which is the best book on CMOS digital circuit design? I know the best textbook on software programming is a book written by MIT 4 professors "The Introduction to Algorithms". Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming" 1-3 volumes are good, and I have read all of them, but they are at too low levels and cover too limited research area. I hope to buy the same books on CMOS digital circuit designs, even though many experts may have different points of views. Thank you. Weng

The book contains materials of full procedures to make an ASIC in nanometer CMOS. I just want CMOS logic circuit in nanometer in 32um technology, for example, domino logic, time borrowing, how to expand an adder operation into 15 levels and something like that. I have ordered two books on Internet: 1. Principles of CMOS VLSI Design (Hardcover), second edition, 1999 ~ Neil H. E. Weste (Author), Kamran Eshraghian (Author) $0.01 + $3.99shipping 2. Logical Effort: Designing Fast CMOS Circuits (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Architecture and Design) by Ivan Sutherland, Robert F. Sproull, and David Harris (Paperback - Feb. 16, 1999) Buy new: $69.95 $62.95 7 new from $30.00 16 used from $24.25 I may buy another book "Principles of CMOS VLSI Design (Hardcover)", third edition, 2010, written by Neil H. E. Weste and David Harris when I finish reading the second edition. Weng

Sproull, and David Harris (Paperback - Feb. 16, 1999). After brief reviewing, The first one is really good so why it receives more than 3k references in Google search. I have no any knowledge about CMOS. Now after reading I may have a full picture of it. It is a background knowledge and I like it even though it was published in 1992. The second one is basically useless. The reason is the estimate of a logic speed and how they are generated in most efficient way are the topics of HDL compilers and it becomes other people's business, not a digital logic designer's business.

Hi Weng, I do not know the book, but it is hard for me to not disagree with the statement, that a digital logic designer is not responsible for the speed of the circuit. Especially when you are talking about domino logic, etc. in your other posts, when I remember right ;-) Regards, Thomas

Some good CMOS references: 1. Principles of CMOS VLSI Design by Weste/Harris 2. Digital Integrated Circuit Design: From VLSI Architectures to CMOS Fabrication by Hubert Kaselin 3. CMOS Digital Integrated Circuits: Analysis and Design S.M. Kang and Y. Leblebici 4. Low power design by Chandrakasan/Brodersen. 5. You can also look at books by John P. Uyemura but they might be quite old. Hope this helps. |
