  • Next message: Rajit Manohar: "Re: good text for senior level VLSI systems design course"

    One that I am presently considering is:
     
    "VLSI Design" by M. Michael Vai CRC Press 2000
    ISBN 0-8493-1876-9 $89.95  
    
    
    I can scan a promo flyer they sent me if there is interest.
    
    It has the table of contents listed. I would also like to 
    hear from you if you happen across anything not listed in
    your initial message.
    
    As for a book written around Magic am I curious what it 
    would cover.  IF you envision somting similar to the Uyemura 
    book using L-Edit, my  opinion is why??  I can't see why 
    anyone would buy such a book since Magic is already free 
    and comes with decent tutorials.
