Book Report — Basic VLSI Design by Douglas A. Pucknell

Conclusion

• ❌ Background sitar music for every video (use regional folk or modern Indian indie instead).
• ❌ Using "Namaste" for everything (it's sacred, not a casual opener).
• ❌ Showing the Taj Mahal in every thumbnail (there is Kerala, Rajasthan, Northeast, etc.).
• ❌ Assuming everyone is Hindu (showcase Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Jain, Buddhist, Parsi India).
• ❌ Romanticizing poverty or sadhus as "spiritually enlightened."

• DIY decoration and rangoli tutorials
• Traditional and fusion recipe videos
• Ethnic fashion hauls and styling tips
• Ritual explanations (e.g., why lighting diyas or fasting)

• Clear progression from device physics to system-level digital design.
• Practical layout guidance and design rules that bridge theory and fabrication.
• Numerous examples and problems for hands-on learning.
• Lightweight and accessible compared with more advanced VLSI texts.

Module D: Performance & Optimization

• Use complementary pass transistors for low on-resistance; include body ties to prevent forward-biasing wells.
