About this book

The book provides a comprehensive coverage of different aspects of low power circuit synthesis at various levels of design hierarchy; starting from the layout level to the system level. For a seamless understanding of the subject, basics of MOS circuits has been introduced at transistor, gate and circuit level; followed by various low-power design methodologies, such as supply voltage scaling, switched capacitance minimization techniques and leakage power minimization approaches. The content of this book will prove useful to students, researchers, as well as practicing engineers.

Reviews

“This book provides readers not only with succinct information for designing low-power very largescale integration (VLSI) circuits and systems, but also with fundamental VLSI design knowledge. It is intended to be used as a textbook for either an undergraduate or graduate course, although researchers and practicing engineers may also find it helpful.” (I-Lun Tseng, Computing Reviews, September, 2015)
