This book is intended to cover a wide range of VLSI design topics. The book can be roughly partitioned into four parts. Part I is mainly focused on algorithmic level and architectural level VLSI design and optimization for image and video signal processing systems. Part II addresses VLSI design optimizations for cryptography and error correction coding. Part III discusses general SoC design techniques as well as other application-specific VLSI design optimizations. The last part will cover generic nano-scale circuit-level design techniques.

This note introduces full custom integrated circuit design. Topics covered includes: CMOS processes, mask layout methods and design, rules, MOS transistor modeling, circuit characterization and performance estimation, design of combinational and sequential circuits and logic families, interconnects, several subsystems including adder.
