Principles of VLSI Design - Symmetry Structures and Methods

This is the textbook for Dr. Hongjiang Song's EEE598: VLSI Analog Circuit Design Based Symmetry class in Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University. The course introduces structural VLSI analog circuit design concepts and techniques for analog circuit blocks and systems such as the operational amplifiers PLL/DLL bandgap reference A/D D/A converters. Symmetry principles and associated circuit constraints structures and methods are adopted to mitigate VLSI PVT and other variations for better circuit performance functionality and design productivity across multiple VLSI process nodes.
