From the Back Cover
"This is a valuable addition to the rather scant practical guides available today for digital designers. What is impressive about this book is the range covered - 700 pages of insights in various aspects of digital design from basic Verilog to complex issues like DMA, arbitration, clock design including practical guide to optimizations for throughput, power, and performance. This book will be indispensable not only to those who are starting out their careers in digital design, but to experienced professionals who are looking for insights in areas they have not worked before."

About the Author
Kishore Mishra started his career as a design engineer working on Ethernet chip design almost 20 years back at Allied Telesyn, International. Since then, he has worked on chip design and architecture in multinational companies such as Texas Instruments and Intel Corporation. His interest and work has been in the area of chipset development, PCI Express, SATA, DDR, and power management/power savings in chip design.
He received his undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering from NIT, Rourkela, India, and his MSEE from University of Toledo, OHIO.
Kishore co-founded IP (Intellectual Property) company, ASIC Architect, Inc. in 2004 where he architected and designed leading PCI Express and SATA controller IPs. As CEO at ASIC Architect, Inc., he led the company with development and deployment of leading edge IPs. ASIC Architect, Inc. was acquired by Gennum Corporation in 2008 where he led productization of PCI Express Switch IP as Director of Engineering, digital IP group. The Switch IP has been used by some of the largest multinational companies and has been in volume production.
He has presented papers in conferences on multiple occasions and holds three US patents. He, for the last three years, has focused on writing this book with a goal to keep it simple yet effective and bring it to the budding as well as practicing engineers. Currently he is architecting the DDR line of products at a start-up company in Silicon Valley.

Embedded chip design has greatly changed the old game, where a few LSI geniuses created "do it all" ICs and downstream engineers worked (with and around!) the chip's objectives and constraints. Today, the application is key and very specialized, and with FPGA's, even the "end users" are part of the design process! Design at the end? Has to be some kind of oxymoron.
The book, in 700 pages, doesn't go into depth in any given area. For example, if you've got race conditions or other problems to contend with in parallel, you'll find a few pages on that topic with encyclopedic - glossary level information but not tutorials or specific code. On the other hand, numerous pipeline sections cover the essence of parallel, piece by piece.
This book is outstanding for beginners, as an overview, as an encyclopedia, and certainly a reference to brush up on the latest trends. There is no copyright date as a print on demand, and over the past year I've noticed the author has updated the file at various times, so you're getting the best of that technique if you buy this new. Which brings me to price: at $35 US, the content/value for this text is off the charts. Similar books (there are not many this comprehensive and up to date) run over $200. This is not organized pedagogically for learning, but more as a section by section reference to go as deep as you need to into individual topics. Each one is covered in about half a page to a page and a half, so there are over 1,000 topics covered!
My one gripe is that the index is very tiny compared to the content. The TextExtras dot com website is preparing an extensive free searchable page index (you have to prove you bought the book) that's ten times the size of the native version you get with the book, and membership is free.
There are probably hundreds of books on Chip Design and related areas with various types of readers in mind. The types of readers may fall into following categories - Experts, Technicians, Technical Managers and Non-Specialists, and the book content may range from a very specific area to very general big picture.
However, if you want to read only one book that deals with all aspects of chip/system design, written and organized in a way that addresses most types of readers, then this book is it! Just get "Advanced Chip Design with Practical Examples in Verilog" by Kishore Mishra and you are all set! Seriously...
This is the first book I came across that pays equal attention to details of "Digital Design" and "System Design." Gone are the days of designing the best chip possible and then let the system designers decide what usage the users would like to apply the system for. Today the chip design has changed - first find usage users would love, define system architecture for it and then design the chip(s). In other words, a designer now is both a system and chip designer. I recommend this book because it deals digital chip design and system design holistically.
I like the organization of the book. In the first ten chapters (Section I), Kishore first trains on the language of hardware design (Verilog), followed by the basics of digital design and advanced concepts of digital design. It then describes architecture of ASIC/SoC and finally, ends the section with nuggets of good design practice. In the next ten chapters (Section II), Kishore dedicates the entire section to System related concepts.
