“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)
