Principles of Cmos Vlsi Design

Rating:
Summary: Good Starting Point
Review: A good starting point if you want to transition from the discrete to the integrated. A useful book if you quickly move on to more advanced books such as Logical Effort and Skew-tolerant Circuit Design. The later edition of this book is more voluminous and up to date (and more muddled as well).

Rating:
Summary: Great Depth
Review: For those who seek a comprehensive look at CMOS design this is a great text. It goes into excellent depth with regard to basic circuit rules all the way to systems and testing. It's a great way to "dive in" but it does not allow you to "put it down" for any length of time. It needs full attention to get the depth of its text.

Summary: best book for a new digital circuit designer
Review: Great book for beginners. I would recommend reading the first half of the book and then reading "Skew Tolerant Circuit Design" and then "Logical Effort." These books will give a circuit designer the basic tools to circuit design.

Summary: Comprehensive and encyclopaedic
Review: I found this to cover very in depth the VLSI topics, starting from the basics of CMOS devices and going all the way to practical layout of actual VLSI circuits.

Summary: Best choice for Beginner wanting to be a IC designer
Review: I have read the 1th ed. of this book and reading the 2ed ed. now. This books is so easyly to be understood, even by a foreigner. This book emphasis the principles learned in college. And introduce more trends about the CMOS technology. After readed the books, let me become a experienced IC designer quickly with layout,circut,subsystem, especially the system concept that general not learned in college.This books is the best choice for IC design beginner just comming from college.

Summary: Great book for Beginners!!!!
Review: I own many engineering books and most of the authors of these books have a hard time getting the point across. However, "Principles of CMOS VLSI Design" by Weste is an excellent book: very comprehensive, very detailed, and very clear in his explanations of the various topics covered in this book. As an undergraduate, I recommend this book to all engineering students. Also, I am currently interning at this engineering company and most of the engineers that work there own this book.
