Informazioni sull?autore

FARZAD NEKOOGAR is the author of Digital Control Using Digital Signal Processing andTiming Verification of Application-Specific Integrated Circuits, both from Prentice Hall PTR. He has over 15 years of experience in design and verification of ASICs (front-end and back-end), SOCs, FPGAs, boards, and systems. He has lectured at the University of California on signal processing, chip design, and theoretical physics.

FARANAK NEKOOGAR has many years of experience verifying ASICs and SOCs. She is currently researching the development of low-power algorithms for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) communications at the University of California at Davis in the Department of Applied Science.

Information you can put straight to work!

ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) and SOCs (Systems On a Chip) are among the hottest topics in semiconductor chip design today. If you're a front-end or back-end chip designer looking to learn the latest techniques and methodologies, this book is for you.

From ASICs to SOCs: A Practical Approach explains ASIC and SOC design and verification for the real world-by covering the same issues and dilemmas you'll face on the job! An emphasis on techniques and principles over the particulars of design tools gives you a deeper understanding of the material and will make you much more effective in your work, regardless which tools you use. Topics include:

  • Methodologies and design flows for front-end and back-end designs
  • Tips and guidelines for front-end and back-end designs
  • Modern physical design techniques
  • Integration of IPs on SOC designs
  • Low-power design techniques and methodologies
  • VOIP (Voice over IP) and STB (Set-Top Box) SOC design examples

With content centering on practical and current information and techniques, From ASICs to SOCs: A Practical Approach is intended for self-study by practical ASIC and SOC engineers. It also makes an excellent reference book for graduate students in electrical engineering.
