Wai-Kai Chen 
VLSI Handbook [PDF ebook] 

For the new millenium, Wai-Kai Chen introduced a monumental reference for the design, analysis, and prediction of VLSI circuits: The VLSI Handbook. Still a valuable tool for dealing with the most dynamic field in engineering, this second edition includes 13 sections comprising nearly 100 chapters focused on the key concepts, models, and equations.Written by a stellar international panel of expert contributors, this handbook is a reliable, comprehensive resource for real answers to practical problems. It emphasizes fundamental theory underlying professional applications and also reflects key areas of industrial and research focus.WHAT’S IN THE SECOND EDITION?Sections on… Low-power electronics and design VLSI signal processing Chapters on… CMOS fabrication Content-addressable memory Compound semiconductor RF circuits High-speed circuit design principles Si Ge HBT technology Bipolar junction transistor amplifiers Performance modeling and analysis using System C Design languages, expanded from two chapters to twelve Testing of digital systems Structured for convenient navigation and loaded with practical solutions, The VLSI Handbook, Second Edition remains the first choice for answers to the problems and challenges faced daily in engineering practice.
