At a dinner talk at the 1999 International Symposium on Physical Design, Andy stated that the greatest near-term opportunity in CAD was to develop tools to bring the performance of ASIC circuits closer to that of custom designs.

This book describes a system of VLSI layout tools called IDA which stands for "Integrated Design Aides. So, in 1979 they invited Carver Mead to present his views on MOS chip design, complete with the now famous "lambda" design rules and "tall, thin designers.

A number of system designers use ASIP's rather than ASIC's to implement their system solutions. This book gives a comprehensive methodology for the design of these application-specific instruction processors (ASIPs). It includes demonstrations of applications of the methodologies using the Tipi research framework.

Explains how to use low power design in an automated design flow, and examine the design time and performance trade-offsIncludes the latest tools and techniques for low power design applied in an ASIC design flowFocuses on low power in an automated design methodology, a much neglected area

As the feature size decreases in deep sub-micron designs, coupling capacitance becomes the dominant factor in total capacitance. This book describes methods for computing delay variation due to coupling. Most of these methods are computationally efficient enough to be employed in a static timing analysis tool for integrated digital circuits.
