NEW - Updating of technology of the deep-submicron realm—The piece makes sure that updates


to most of the numeric values with respect to advancing processes can be accomplished easily.

Interconnect material takes a more predominant position and is moved forward in the


presentation.

A number of the circuit techniques have been removed or updated or newer approaches have


been introduced—Reflects the changes in design approaches over the last decade.

A chapter on manufacturing technology has been introduced—Design methodologies


are introduced throughout the text in synchronicity with the circuit content.

Design methodology inserts—Discuss design automation.
