modelling. The second part covers digital and analogue circuits, including semicondutor memories, with performance summaries of commercialproducts. The final part explains the nature of application specific integrated circuits ( ASICs), and the ASIC design process. The final chapter covers VLSI scaling and the dominant role of interconnections in the scaling process. The text caters for many enginers and scientists who need to have agrasp of IC capabilities and ASIC design rooted in an appreciation of processing, device, behaviour, and circuit practice.
