iming, timing, timing That is the main concern of a digital designer charged with designing a semiconductor chip. What is it, how is it T described, and how does one verify it? The design team of a large digital design may spend months architecting and iterating the design to achieve the required timing target. Besides functional verification, the t- ing closure is the major milestone which dictates when a chip can be - leased to the semiconductor foundry for fabrication. This book addresses the timing verification using static timing analysis for nanometer designs. The book has originated...

Learn to model for synthesis using VHDL. See the details of how VHDL gets translated into logic gates in this book. Also, see how hardware elements are described in synthesizable VHDL. This book is a must primer for anyone who is beginning to learn synthesis using VHDL. A chapter on verification explains the many causes of simulation mismatches between pre and post synthesis models and how to avoid these. Modeling guidelines are also provided to help improve synthesis results.

DESCRIPTION: (This softcover edition of the book has no accompanying CD). This is a beginner's book on SystemC targeted for both system designers as well as logic designers. Designers who already know VHDL or Verilog HDL will find the book very easy to read and learn about SystemC. Designers can in a very short time start writing SystemC models and simulating them with the information provided in the book. An excellent foreword has been provided by Stan Krolikoski, the Open SystemC Initiative Chairman -- " ...a primer that gradually introduces the reader to the complexities of SystemC by...

Exchange formats demystified with clear and concise examples. Reading the book will give you the power to understand these formats faster. The book describes DEF, LEF, PDEF, SDF, SPEF and VCD. It describes what is in the standard, what its format looks like and clear explanations of its semantics.

This book provides an invaluable primer on the techniques utilized in the design of low power digital semiconductor devices. Readers will benefit from the hands-on approach which starts form the ground-up, explaining with basic examples what power is, how it is measured and how it impacts on the design process of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). The authors use both the Unified Power Format (UPF) and Common Power Format (CPF) to describe in detail the power intent for an ASIC and then guide readers through a variety of architectural and implementation techniques that will...
