1. CMOS VLSI Design : A Circuits and Systems Perspective by Neil H.E. Weste, David Harris, Ayan Banerjee

    All the latest trends and techniques in the design of complex, high level CMOS chips are explained with their basics in this book. The book mainly covers topics like MOS technology, CMOS circuit design techniques, its theory, and circuit characterizations and estimates of performance. The book also covers tutorials on tools and techniques like VHDL, SPICE, and Verilog.



2. Microelectronic Circuits : Theory and Applications 5th Edition by Kenneth C. Smith, Adel S. Sedra

This is the bestselling book in the whole world due to its continuous updated editions according to the recent changes in CMOS technology. Analysis and design of all electronic circuits are given along with examples.

3. Verilog VHDL by Samir Palnitkar

  This book gives you broad coverage of VerilogHDL. The book stresses the practical design and verification perspective of Verilog rather than emphasizing only the language aspects. The information presented is fully compliant with the IEEE 1364-2001 Verilog HDL standard

4. Basic VLSI Design by Douglas A. Pucknell, Kamran Eshraghian

  All basics in VLSI, latest updates and revised contents about nMOS, CMOS, BiCMOS and gallium arsenide technologies are presented in this book. It is highly recommended for beginners.

In this blog we will understand the various IC design components and open source tools available to perform IC design. First lets take a look at  IC design components.  Fig: Logic Synthesis First step in IC design is to do Logic Synthesis . Logic synthesis is a process by which an abstract specification of desired circuit behavior which is the netlist, at register transfer level (RTL), is converted or transformed into a design implementation in terms of logic gates. And the open source tool which helps us do logic synthesis is Yosys Open Synthesis Tool . Fig: Floor-planning Second step is Floorplanning . In floorplanning blocks/macros in the chip/core area, are placed . Floor-plan determines the size of die and creates wire tracks for placement of standard cells. It. creates power ground(PG) connections.           Fig : Placement and Clock Tree Synthesis Third Step is Placement of logical cells that we got from first step and third step is CTS Clock...

What is EDA (VLSI CAD)? Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computers to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. CAD programs specific to the electronics industry are known as electronic CAD (ECAD) or electronic design automation (EDA).   EDA tools help to create and program multiple types of electronic circuits like an integrated circuit (IC), printed circuit board (PCB) and system on chip (SoC).It uses multiple features like logical design, circuit schematic design, layout generation, design simulation and many more features for VSLI design. To enter a design into an EDA tool, a suitable design entry method is required. Typically, tools will allow the following design entry methods: 1.Circuit schematics present a graphical view of the design using logic gate symbols and interconnect wiring. 2.Boolean Expressions can be entered as a text-based description in combinational logic designs. 3.HDL design entry allows a description of the digital ...
