I’ve been spending serious time with the 3rd edition of Analysis and Design of Digital Integrated Circuits by Hodges, Jackson, and Saleh (often just called "Hodges & Jackson"). If you're in an advanced undergrad or grad-level VLSI course, or trying to break into custom digital design, you’ve probably seen this book. Here’s my practical breakdown.
The 3rd edition of "Analysis and Design of Digital Integrated Circuits" by Hodges, Jackson, and Saleh is a foundational VLSI text transitioning to a focus on CMOS technology and deep submicron models. The text covers static/dynamic characteristics and SPICE simulation for design analysis. For more details, visit Amazon.com Amazon.com I’ve been spending serious time with the 3rd
