Description
Designers of high-speed integrated circuits face a bewildering array of choices and too often spend frustrating days tweaking gates
to meet speed targets.
Logical Effort: Designing Fast CMOS Circuits makes high speed design easier and more methodical, providing
a simple and broadly applicable method for estimating the delay resulting from factors such as topology, capacitance, and gate sizes.
The brainchild of circuit and computer graphics pioneers Ivan Sutherland and Bob Sproull, "logical effort" will change the way
you approach design challenges. This book begins by equipping you with a sound understanding of the method's essential procedures and
concepts-so you can start using it immediately. Later chapters explore the theory and finer points of the method and detail its specialized
applications.
