books for campus placements

[shikharmakkar]

I'll be in my final year this august and will be sitting for campus placements. I am interested in joining a core company like cadence, freescale etc. So what books should I refer to and on which particular topics should I put more stress?

These are the few topics that you should prepare for any freshers interview..

1) Digital design
2) Sequential ckt design (Rabey) (setup,hold ,skew etc)
3) Interconnect delay basics
