Book Reviews of Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (VLSI Systems Series)

Book Review: Detailed and exhaustive but outdated
Summary: 4 Stars

As an ASIC design engineer, I liked the concept of this book and the breadth of the material covered. This book is broadly divided into two parts - one on FPGA's/PLD's and one on custom ASIC's (the author refers to all of these as ASIC's). The FPGA section covers programmable cells, i/o cells interconnects and design software for some devices of Xilinx, Altera and Actel. I found these sections informative but a bit boring. As you may expect from a nearly 10 year old book, most of the information is outdated. The ASIC's section consists of chapters on HDL's (you are better off reading a separate book on Verilog/VHDL), synthesis, simulation, test, floorplannng, placement and routing. I found these sections much more useful. The writing style is incoherent in many places and very informal throughout. This book is better suited for a reference to a practising engineer than for a college textbook.
