Overview
The Number 1 VLSI Design Guide—Now Fully Updated for
IP-Based Design and the Newest Technologies
Modern VLSI Design, Fourth Edition, offers
authoritative, up-to-the-minute guidance for the entire VLSI design
process—from architecture and logic design through layout and
packaging. Wayne Wolf has systematically updated his award-winning
book for today’s newest technologies and highest-value design
techniques. Wolf introduces powerful new IP-based design techniques
at all three levels: gates, subsystems, and architecture. He
presents deeper coverage of logic design fundamentals, clocking and
timing, and much more. No other VLSI guide presents as much
up-to-date information for maximizing performance, minimizing power
utilization, and achieving rapid design turnarounds.
Coverage includes
All-new material on IP-based design
Extensive new coverage of networks-on-chips
New coverage of using FPGA fabrics to improve design flexibility
New material on image sensors, busses, Rent’s Rule, pipelining, and more
Updated VLSI technology parameters reflecting the latest advances
Revised descriptions of HDLs and other VLSI design tools
Advanced techniques for overcoming bottlenecks and reducing crosstalk
Low-power design techniques for enhancing reliability and extending battery life
Testing solutions for every level of abstraction, from gates to architecture
Revamped end-of-chapter problems that fully reflect today’s VLSI design challenges
Wolf introduces a top-down, systematic design methodology that
begins with high-level models, extends from circuits to
architecture, and facilitates effective testing. Along the way, he
brings together all the skills VLSI design professionals will need
to create tomorrow’s state-of-the-art devices.

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.Addison B.
I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.Amir M.
I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
