Opis

The book provides a comprehensive coverage of different aspects of low power circuit synthesis at various levels of design hierarchy; starting from the layout level to the system level. For a seamless understanding of the subject, basics of MOS circuits has been introduced at transistor, gate and circuit level;

Recenzje

"This book provides readers not only with succinct information for designing low-power very largescale integration (VLSI) circuits and systems, but also with fundamental VLSI design knowledge. It is intended to be used as a textbook for either an undergraduate or graduate course, although researchers and practicing engineers may also find it helpful." (I-Lun Tseng, Computing Reviews, September, 2015)
