"Alpert2009" (clave de referencia de LaTeX) es un libro impresionante. Sin embargo, puede ser demasiado avanzado para los principiantes, especialmente si no tienen experiencia adecuada en diseño VLSI digital (desde RTL a diseño) o una formación adecuada en ciencias de la computación y matemáticas para estudiantes de EE.
Estos son libros generales de EDA que también tratan temas de diseño físico.
