Approaches design of digital circuits from both a circuits and a systems perspective. After an in-depth introduction to electronic devices and digital gates, Part I covers CMOS design, very high performance digital circuits, and sequential logic circuits. Part II looks at design issues such as timing synchronization, power minimization, and design automation. Includes chapter appendices, design examples and problems, and exercises. Can be used as a reference and as a text for graduate digital circuit design classes. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
