1. Presents modern CMOS logic circuits, fabrication, and layout in a cohesive
manner that links material together with the system-level considerations.
2. Illustrates the top-down design procedure used in modern VLSI chip design with
an emphasis on variations in the HDL, logic, circuits, and layout. See the
tradeoffs that occur at all levels of the design hierarchy. To compare different
solutions to a problem, and learns how design choices affect the overall outcome.
