Introduction to VLSI Circuits and Systems

The CD has two versions of the SPICE simulator (AIM-SPICE and MicroCap6), and a Verilog simulation environment (Silos III). The disk also has a short presentation entitled "Stick Diagrams" in .pdf format that supplements the text discussion. A copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 has been included to read the .pdf file. Basic loading instructions for each program are provided below. All of the programs must be installed on a hard drive to run. The author has tested the programs on a 400 MHz Windows 98 machine with standard graphics and 128 MB RAM with excellent results, but the programs seem to run well on lesser systems.
