这本关于CMOS VLSI设计的畅销图书经过全面修订，囊括了在芯片上设计复杂与高性能CMOS系统的大量先进技术。本书覆兽了从数字系统一级到电路一级的CMOS设计方法，其中既介绍了一些基本原理，也介绍了许多很好的设计经验。

Neil H.E.Weste和新的合著者David Harris利用他们丰富的业界实践经验与教学经验对先进的芯片设计方法进行了介绍。本书作者经在Intel、Cisco和Bell实验室工作过，作者通过共享他们在这一专业领域的经验，从实用的角度阐述了有关CMOS VLSI设计的内容。

David Money Harris Associate Professor of Engineering at Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, CA, holds a Ph.D. from Stanford University and S.B. and M.Eng. degrees from MIT. His research interests include CMOS VLSI design, microprocessors, and computer arithmetic. He holds a dozen patents, is the author of three other books in the field of digital design and three hiking guidebooks, and has designed chips at Sun Microsystems, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, and Evans & Sutherland.

Neil Weste is a member of the faculty at the Department of Electronic Engineering, Macquarie University; Adjunct Professor of Electrical Engineering at The University of Adelaide; and Director, Engineering at Cisco’s Wireless Networking Business Unit. He is a Fellow of the IEEE for his contributions to custom IC design, and a peer elected member of the IEEE Solid State Circuits Society. In 1997 he cofounded Radiata Communications (with David Skellern) which designed the first chip sets for the IEEE 802.11a WLAN standard; in 2001 Radiata was acquired by Cisco. He has served as department head at Bell Laboratories; leader of design projects for Symbolics, Inc.; and as president of TLW, Inc., an IC engineering company that completed groundbreaking chip designs for companies such as North American Philips, Analog Devices, AT&T Microelectronics and Thomson Consumer Electronics.
