Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Circuits & components; Microprocessors; Computer architecture & logic design

This book covers the design of next generation microprocessors in deep submicron CMOS technologies. The chapters in Design of High Performance Microprocessor Circuits were written by some of the world's leading technologists, designers, and researchers. All levels of system abstraction are covered, but the emphasis rests squarely on circuit design. Examples are drawn from processors designed at AMD, Digital/Compaq, IBM, Intel, MIPS, Mitsubishi, and Motorola.

Each topic of this invaluable reference stands alone so the chapters can be read in any order. The following topics are covered in depth:

Architectural constraints of CMOS VLSI design Technology scaling, low-power devices, SOI, and process variations Contemporary design styles including a survey of logic families, robust dynamic circuits, asynchronous logic, self-timed pipelines, and fast arithmetic units Latches, clocks and clock distribution, phase-locked and delay-locked loops Register file, cache memory, and embedded DRAM design High-speed signaling techniques and I/O design ESD, electromigration, and hot-carrier reliability CAD tools, including timing verification and the analysis of power distribution schemes Test and testability

Design of High-Performance Microprocessor Circuits assumes a basic knowledge of digital circuit design and device operation, and covers a broad range of circuit styles and VLSI design techniques. Packed with practical know-how, it is an indispensable reference for practicing circuit designers, architects, system designers, CAD tool developers, process technologists, and researchers. It is also an essential text for VLSI design courses.

About the Editors... Anantha Chandrakasan is an associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dr. Chandrakasan has received numerous awards and has served on the technical program committees of various IEEE and ACM conferences. His research interests include the energy efficient implementation of DSPs, wireless microsensor networks, and CAD tools for VLSI. William J. Bowhill is a principal member of technical staff in Compaq Computer Corporation's Alpha Development Group (formerly Digital Equipment Corp.). He has contributed to many VAX and Alpha microprocessor designs. Prior to joining Digital in 1985, he designed telecommunication chips for Standard Telecommunication Research Laboratories in England. He has a B.Eng. from Liverpool University. Frank Fox (Thomas F. Fox) has been a vice president at Rambus Inc., since 1998. Previously, he worked for Digital Equipment Corporation, where he led the fifth generation Alpha microprocessor design team. During his fourteen years at Digital, he designed many microprocessors and consulted on CMOS technology and CAD tools. Dr. Fox has a B.E. from University College Cork, National University of Ireland and a Ph.D. from Trinity College, Dublin University.
