This book discusses the new roles that the VLSI (very-large-scale integration of semiconductor circuits) is taking for the safe, secure, and dependable design and operation of electronic systems.
The book consists of three parts. Part I, as a general introduction to this vital topic, describes how electronic systems are designed and tested with particular emphasis on dependability engineering, where the simultaneous assessment of the detrimental outcome of failures and cost of their containment is made. This section also describes the related research project "Dependable VLSI Systems," in which the editor and authors of the book were involved for 8 years. Part II addresses various threats to the dependability of VLSIs as key systems components, including time-dependent degradations, variations in device characteristics, ionizing radiation, electromagnetic interference, design errors, and tampering, with discussion of technologies to counter those threats. Part III elaborates on the design and test technologies for dependability in such applications as control of robots and vehicles, data processing, and storage in a cloud environment and heterogeneous wireless telecommunications.
The VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration of semiconductor circuits) and software (computer program) are two great enablers of electronic systems, a synonym to modern-day convenience. Personal computers and cell phones, almost indispensable personal items these days, are good examples. Figure 1.1 shows a simplified block diagram of a personal computer. It is seen that VLSI chips such as a microprocessor, and semiconductor memories, e.g., RAM (Random Access Memory) and NVM (Nonvolatile Memory), are the most important parts among others. Important peripheral devices such as HDD (Hard Disk Drive), communications control, and monitoring display have built-in processors as well. The PC (Personal Computer) is a typical general-purpose computer where users run various different application programs. High-performance (Super-) computers are at the highest end of general-purpose computers.
This book is intended to be used as a reference for engineers who work on the design and testing of VLSI systems with particular attention to dependability. It can be used as a textbook in graduate courses as well. Readers interested in dependable systems from social and industrial-economic perspectives will also benefit from the discussions in this book.
