Mixed-Signal Layout Generation Concepts: 751 (The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science) - Hardcover

From the reviews:

"This book covers high-level placement and routing methods available from the 1970s to the present. For readers who want to learn about available layout algorithms, this book is a must. ... Readers will gain insight into what is challenging about routing and how to measure routing quality. ... This book is suitable for readers who want to learn about layout algorithms ... ." (IEEE Circuits & Devices Magazine, Vol. 21 (4), July/August, 2005)

"Mixed-Signal Layout Generation Concepts is an outstanding text that provides a clear insight on how to efficiently solve the tasks of placement and routing ... . The book is timely and well structured. ... The quality of all the contributions ... is generally high. This book should be of considerable interest for graduate-level students in Electrical Engineering. ... It can be also a worthwhile purchase for anyone interested in ... VLSI design. I heartily recommend the book to anyone interested in system-on-a-chip design." (Mile Stojcev, Microelectronics Reliability, Vol. 45, 2005)

This title covers important physical-design issues that exist in contemporary analogue and mixed-signal design flows. The authors bring together many principles and techniques required to successfully develop and implement layout generation tools to accommodate many mixed-signal layout generation needs.
