Bridging the gap between logical design and VLSI design, this text has been revised to reflect recent computer engineering developments. It includes new information on CAD tools, PLAs, NMOs and standard-cell CMOS methodologies.

This book bridges the gap between logical design and VLS1 design- this substantially revised edition reflects the computer engineering curricula changes of the past decade. Although many of the same topics in the third edition are covered, NMOS and standard-cell based CMOS methodologies are now stressed. Thoroughly updated, the new edition covers CAD tools, PLA's and VLS1 systems. new, open-ended design problems encopurage students to practice designing.
