Industrial Digital ASIC and VLSI Design: A Practitioner’s Guide for Design, Verification, and Physical Implementation

e-book- Industrial Digital ASIC and VLSI Design: A Practitioner’s Guide for Design, Verification, and Physical Implementation

Industrial Digital ASIC and VLSI Design is a comprehensive, industry focused guide that walks readers through the complete end-to-end digital ASIC and VLSI development flow, from architectural planning and RTL design to verification, physical implementation, and silicon sign-off.

Unlike traditional textbooks that focus on isolated stages or idealized examples, this book is written from a practitioner’s perspective, capturing the realities of modern semiconductor product development tight schedules, power and performance trade-offs, cross-team dependencies, and manufacturing constraints. Please note that this product is an e-book only. No printed (physical) copy is included.

Designed for real-world application, the book integrates design, verification, physical design, DFT, timing closure, and sign-off into a unified flow aligned with today’s fabless–foundry–OSAT ecosystem.

✅ What This Book Covers

• End-to-end ASIC & VLSI design flow — from requirements and SoC architecture to tape-out
• RTL design best practices and scalable coding methodologies
• Functional verification strategies, including coverage-driven verification and low-power verification
• Low-power design techniques for modern SoCs
• Physical design implementation, including floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, and optimization
• Design for Test (DFT) concepts and production test readiness
• Timing closure, power integrity, and sign-off methodologies
• SoC-level integration and advanced packaging considerations
• Real industrial workflows across design, DV, PD, foundry, and OSAT teams

✅ Key Highlights

• ✔ Practical, silicon-driven insights — not just theory
• ✔ Focus on production-ready design and sign-off
• ✔ Clear explanation of cross-functional handoffs and dependencies
• ✔ Aligned with modern EDA flows and industry practices
• ✔ Suitable for both learning and on-the-job reference

✅ Who This Book Is For

• Digital ASIC & VLSI engineers working on commercial silicon
• RTL, Verification, and Physical Design engineers preparing for tape-out
• SoC architects and technical leads managing end-to-end flows
• Early-career engineers and graduate students seeking industry-relevant knowledge
• Professionals transitioning from academia to industrial chip design

✅ Why This Book Matters

As semiconductor complexity continues to grow, successful silicon requires more than isolated expertise. Engineers must understand how decisions made at RTL affect verification, physical design, power, timing, and manufacturability.

This book bridges that gap providing a holistic, production-focused view of digital ASIC and VLSI design, grounded in real industrial experience.

If your goal is to design robust, low-power, timing-clean silicon that works in production, this book is written for you.
