周电编著的《现代应用集成电路设计（英文版）》介绍应用集成电路设计的整体流程以及流程涉及的每个步骤，这些步骤之间的内在关系，以及如何使用工业化的实际的集成电路计算机辅助设计软件完成设计任务。本书的一个突出特点是使用一个实际的应用设计例子，有限响应滤波器的设计，引导读者走通设计的全部细节。这样一个设计实例使得读者获得第一手的设计经验和使用工业化计算机辅助设计软件的知识。书中附带了这个设计案例的全部硬件描述语言代码以供参考。

《现代应用集成电路设计（英文版）》基于作者周电在美国大学十几年教授“现代应用集成电路设计”课程的手稿整理而成，主要内容包括应用集成电路设计流程、设计指标定义和规范、逻辑电路设计、物理设计、时间功耗性能分析及验证测试。读者需要有数字集成电路和硬件描述语言（VHDL）的基础知识。按照具体课程设置的要求，本书可用于一个学期的教学内容，包括应用集成电路设计流程、设计指标定义和规范、逻辑电路设计及物理设计。关于集成电路发展的前沿问题，本书在第7章和第8章中以研究课题为背影介绍了基础知识。

《现代应用集成电路设计（英文版）》可作为电子和计算机工作专业的大学四年级或硕士研究生教材，也适于集成电路设计的专业人员参考阅读。
