Advanced ASIC Chip Synthesis: Using Synopsys? Design Compiler? Physical Compiler? and PrimeTime?, Second Edition describes the advanced concepts and techniques used towards ASIC chip synthesis,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book is geared towards the synopsys synthesis tools (as evident in the title). It gives brief explanations about vhdl and verilog coding style (which can be found in many other books). The actual useful part was that the book explored the commonly used synthesis commands in synopsys, and also had explanations on the steps to follow to succesfully synthesize rtl. These ideas can also be used on synthesis tools from other vendors. This book is good for people already familiar with front end rtl design and are looking into moving to backend.
