Book Overview

What makes some computers slow? What makes some digital systems operate reliably for years while others fail mysteriously every few hours? Why do some systems dissipate kilowatts while others operate... This description may be from another edition of this product.

Just right

This book delivers about as much as you'd want to know on any aspect of VLSI design that you need to know. Many times I've scoured the web and read papers that are partially relevant to what I'm doing. Then I'll open Dally and Poulton and they summarize exactly what I need in a few short pages.

Excellent for real world design concepts

This book has some of the best discussions of pin and interconnect issues that I have see. These issues are THE limiting factors with newer chip and system architectures.His explanation of the models of parasitic capacitance by itself makes it worth buying the book.Best read in small chunks, this well written book is packed with useful information

The BEST book ever published on the subject

As a high speed digital system designer, you can not afford to neglect this great book. There are lots of insights and details for experienced designers. Thank Dally and Poulton.

Comprehensive, up to date.

Great overview of entire digital systems. A must have for any signal integrity engineer. Good price for the volume of information. Good info for design engineers as well.

A really wonderful book on digital system engineering!

I like this book very much, which has everything about today's high-speed digital system design. Deep submicron design becomes more and more challenging and we have to deal with so many headache problems such as interconnects, clock and power distribution etc. This book provides all of the guidelines and practical solutions about physical design. It is a cool book with low price!
