Summary: The BEST book ever published on the subject
Review: As a high speed digital system designer, you can not afford to neglect this great book. There are lots of insights and details for experienced designers. Thank Dally and Poulton.

Summary: Abyssmal textbook, good reference book
Review: For a textbook that is required for class, this book is rather abyssmal. There are no examples to speak of, the language is obscure and arcane. The questions at the back of each chapter begs the question of their relevance to the chapter at hand. It is a really good reference book, I agree, for those already experenced in such matters, however, as the primary textbook for a class this book ranks a hair higher than the Illuminati reader in terms of readability and inspiration.

Summary: Comprehensive, up to date.
Review: Great overview of entire digital systems. A must have for any signal integrity engineer. Good price for the volume of information. Good info for design engineers as well.

Summary: Too scattered, not good in any one of the subjects.
Review: I bought this book because it covers a lot of very useful subjects. However,I was very dissappointed reading it. It is too skimpy, not clearly explained and scattered. Almost any subject covered in this book is better covered in other books. It will make a very poor text book indeed. There are a lot of good books on signal integrity; from masterpieces like Clayton Paul's "Electromagnetic Compatibility" to the simple but pleasant book by Howard Johnson. There are infinitely better books on digital circuit design, on PLLs, on parasitic capacitances. Even subjects I knew before, I had a hard time following. I have to admit there are interesting sections with nice ideas that I haven't seen in any other books, but these little sections don't make up for the short comings of this book. Throwing things together doesn't make a good book. You have to care to write clearly and explain things.

Summary: A really wonderful book on digital system engineering!
Review: I like this book very much, which has everything about today's high-speed digital system design. Deep submicron design becomes more and more challenging and we have to deal with so many headache problems such as interconnects, clock and power distribution etc. This book provides all of the guidelines and practical solutions about physical design. It is a cool book with low price!

Summary: Lots of stuffs covered, but very disorganized
Review: It is hard to imagine to use this book in a class. No wonder most of class notes based on this book has to reorganize from different chapters to present one subject. I believe this will make a really great textbook as well as a reference both for students and engineers if authors spend more time to have a good flow of subjects.

Summary: Just right
Review: This book delivers about as much as you'd want to know on any aspect of VLSI design that you need to know. Many times I've scoured the web and read papers that are partially relevant to what I'm doing. Then I'll open Dally and Poulton and they summarize exactly what I need in a few short pages.

Summary: Excellent for real world design concepts
Review: This book has some of the best discussions of pin and interconnect issues that I have see. These issues are THE limiting factors with newer chip and system architectures.His explanation of the models of parasitic capacitance by itself makes it worth buying the book. Best read in small chunks, this well written book is packed with useful information

Summary: Excellent Book on basic engineering!
Review: This is a great book to stay in touch with the basic elements of electrical and electronics engineering. Haven't seen such intuitive coverage of the subject in years. I saw this book on my colleague's desk at work, and started skimming through the pages. Had to buy this one!
