"The VLSI Handbook: Design Principles, Industry and Career Perspectives is the right book at the right time for filling the gap between the courses being taught in engineering colleges and the skill set required in the VLSI industry. Practically, it is impossible to add more VLSI content in graduate courses because the study of basic electronic concepts is very much required for Electronics Engineering UG students. I congratulate the authors in capturing all the details of VLSI industry (Flows, IP and SoC design, FPGA based design) in the book in a very balanced manner with appropriate depth. The vast experience of the authors in industry and research institutes makes this book unique in covering the exact industrial design activities happening in a way which is easily understandable to students. Another important feature of this book is that it describes the full ecosystem of the VLSI industry from silicon to system level, these sections will give a boost to those students who are interested in start-ups. This book will help all UG students as well as the faculty of Electronics Engineering to understand the concepts around VLSI design. The book content will also act as a career guide to PG students in selecting there future streams within the VLSI domain. I strongly recommend that this book should be added as a reference book for all PG courses in VLSI."

"The authors have systematically described and covered basic introduction of VLSI, semiconductor ecosystem, SoC/IP Flow and latest trends in upcoming fields. The authors have vast experience in industry and academic excellence in the VLSI field so they have perfectly conceptualized this book based on their learning and experience. I insist all the readers to prefer to read this book because I am very impressed and satisfied with the book as it has covered all the relevant topics, people usually look for them. Referring this book will give a fair overview of VLSI field, how industry creates the eco-system and works, and what are latest and upcoming fields. I thank and wish the authors all the very best on devising this very useful book."
