VLSI Layout Design and Digital Simulation with Microsoft® Excel

The book "VLSI Layout Design and Digital Simulation with Microsoft Excel" offers a comprehensive introduction to using Microsoft Excel as a tool for VLSI design simulation. It is aimed at professionals and students who wish to develop a deeper understanding of the integration of CAD and EDA tools into the design process. The author, Abdurrahman Arif, presents a user-friendly software solution that allows for design, functional simulation, physical layouts, and testing before a chip goes into production. By utilizing Excel, a widely used software, it provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional VLSI design software packages. The book covers fundamental tasks and advanced techniques, including the use of macros and VBA, to maximize Excel's capabilities for complex design simulations.
