Publisher Note Presenting a comprehensive overview of the design automation algorithms, tools, and methodologies used to design integrated circuits, the Electronic Design Automation for Integrated Circuits Handbook is available in two volumes. Purchased individually, each volume provides a focused treatment of specialized aspects of design automation. Purchased as a set, they provide the most comprehensive reference available in the field, offered at an attractive discount. The first volume covers system-level and microarchitectural design, logical verification, and testing. The second volume covers real-time logic to GDSII, analog/mixed signal design (AMS), physical verification, and technology CAD (TCAD).   Includes an introduction and review of the subject area to set a context for the use of EDA algorithms Gives details of algorithms and tools most relevant to EDA for each topic Covers algorithms, modeling approaches, and analysis capabilities for the description of product functionality Discusses many design steps and tools Comprises contributions from leading academic and industry experts
