VLSI Digital Signal Processing Systems: Design and Implementation

good

good!

Looking at earlier comments, it seems that many people don't understand what this is about.Some of the reviewers feel it's not telling them enough about VLSI , i.e., layout, synthesis, etc; others complain that there's not enough DSP theory. Neither of these are the goal of the book.Instead it talks about the theory behind realizing DSP algorithms in hardware - things like how to re-use computational units (folding), how to extract parallelism (unfolding), how to analyze and compare finite precision effects (scaling and roundoff), as well as some more specific topics (where to put pipeline stages, the benefits of lattice filters).The book is best suited to people who have undergraduate training in DSP as well as hardware, and are looking to find good ways to realize DSP in hardware.It would be nice if the book talked a bit more about practical examples, e.g., 802.11a, LDPC codes, and related the material to peripheral topics, e.g., analog/RF frontend, interfacing to CPUs, etc., even at a surveyish level.

This is a good book on VLSI DSP system design. I still hope the author could talk something more about implementation, especially VLSI circuit design. It seems this book covers too much about theory instead of design and implementation.

I spent a lot of money on this book and was very disappointed. The book is marginal at best and did nothing to help me implement a real world DSP algorithm. More University propaganda to confuse students. Its really a shame that professors get paid to make things more confusing than necessary. Ive been writing HDL code for over 12 years and given the rave reviews of this book thought it might add to my library. It did not. It is very poorly organized and the DSP explanations are weak and confusing. If you really want to understand how to implement a DSP algorithm using an HDL (verilog/vhdl), save your money and purchase the best DSP book available by Richard Lyons. There is no better DSP book out there, and you will never see it used by a professor. Perhaps the Steve Smith Guide to DSP book or free online version (gotta love the guy for that). Then go out and and get a free student copy of ModelSim or ActiveHDL, buy yourself a burger, start writing some code based off tutorials, and thank me for not letting you waste your money on this book. And of course if you end up doing this for a career, support your EDA tool vendors!

Though being a beginner in VLSI systems,this book helped me get the grip in subjects I considered extremely difficult to grasp.It is well written,with many real-life examples and offers the reader wide range of knowledge . I think it is not only useful but absolutely indispensable for students and professional engineers alike .

It is very nice book, all the areas are explained in a very clear manner. This is an example for How the book should be!!!

Item wise i am satisfied, but price point of view not happy. As i complained earlier, immediate after ordering, price was down by Rs. 40/-. It is not matter of money always, but reliability & stability of price of Amazon. I should have cancelled first order & gone for less price order, but i did not do it.

Though the book comes under 'used' category, it appears fresh. On two pages, the seal of some college library was there. The contents of the book are also very good.

Good conditionGood book

Few pages were missing.

Good Book for VLSI Architecture
