Static Timing Analysis for Nanometer Designs: A Practical Approach

iming, timing, timing! That is the main concern of a digital designer charged with designing a semiconductor chip. What is it, how is it T described, and how does one verify it? The design team of a large digital design may spend months architecting and iterating the design to achieve the required timing target. Besides functional verification, the t- ing closure is the major milestone which dictates when a chip can be - leased to the semiconductor foundry for fabrication. This book addresses the timing verification using static timing analysis for nanometer designs. The book has originated from many years of our working in the area of timing verification for complex nanometer designs. We have come across many design engineers trying to learn the background and various aspects of static timing analysis. Unfortunately, there is no book currently ava- able that can be used by a working engineer to get acquainted with the - tails of static timing analysis. The chip designers lack a central reference for information on timing, that covers the basics to the advanced timing veri- cation procedures and techniques.

*** SOFTCOVER EDITION (with no CD) OF BOOK IS AVAILABLE! ISBN 978-0-9846292-0-6 (Hardcover edition is no longer available) *** This is a beginner's book on SystemC targeted for both system designers as well as logic designers. Designers who already know VHDL or Verilog HDL will find the book very easy to read and learn about SystemC. Designers can in a very short time start writing SystemC models and simulating them with the information provided in the book. 
An excellent foreword has been provided by Stan Krolikoski, the Open SystemC Initiative Chairman -- " ...a primer that gradually introduces the reader to the complexities of SystemC by reference to common digital design concepts ..." 
The second edition includes a CD as well, plus improved coverage of the latest SystemC features.

DESCRIPTION: (This softcover edition of the book has no accompanying CD). This is a beginner's book on SystemC targeted for both system designers as well as logic designers. Designers who already know VHDL or Verilog HDL will find the book very easy to read and learn about SystemC. Designers can in a very short time start writing SystemC models and simulating them with the information provided in the book. An excellent foreword has been provided by Stan Krolikoski, the Open SystemC Initiative Chairman -- " ...a primer that gradually introduces the reader to the complexities of SystemC by reference to common digital design concepts ..." REVIEW: "Is easy to understand for anyone with digital logic design background . . . suitable as an introduction book to SystemC . . . Examples are very helpful" - Xiaoyan Huang "I enjoyed reading the SystemC Primer book. It was very easy to read and the examples were excellent. I feel like I have a good understanding of the language. I felt that the examples showed the positive attributes of the new language specifically the parameterization of models so they can be reusable. By using the examples the designer can focus more on the design itself and not the language" - Jean Witinski "This is a very useful book for those interested in SystemC for hardware design. It has many practical examples and gives pragmatic advice on what is possible with hardware synthesis" - Grant Martin, Fellow, Cadence Labs "This book provides an excellent introduction to SystemC. SystemC concepts are clearly explained and illustrated with practical examples. It is a must read for people interested in modeling hardware in SystemC" - Abhijit Ghosh, Synopsys "This is definitely a reference for designers who want to learn SystemC. Numerous examples guide the reader towards a sound understanding of the language. Higher level SystemC features are introduced and not kept aside. Bottom line, a very good book to SystemC . . . " - Yves Vanderperren, Alcatel Microelectronics "Excellent introduction to SystemC constructs explained with detailed examples, complete with corresponding logic diagrams. A must for every SystemC designer's desk" - Sanjiv Narayan "I enjoyed reading it. Recommended to designers learning SystemC for modeling and synthesis . . . it will also be welcomed on both graduate and advanced undergraduate courses" - David Long, Doulos "Well suited as a text book for students and a great value for hardware designers that want to get started with SystemC" - Bernhard Niemann, Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits

A SystemC Primer, Second Edition

Learn to model for synthesis using VHDL. See the details of how VHDL gets translated into logic gates in this book. Also, see how hardware elements are described in synthesizable VHDL. This book is a must primer for anyone who is beginning to learn synthesis using VHDL.
