We are most gratified to find that the first edition of The VLSI Handbook (2000) was well received and is widely used. Thus, we feel that our original goal of providing in-depth professional-level coverage of VLSI technology was, indeed, worthwhile. Seven years is a short time in terms of development of science and technology; however as this handbook shows, momentous changes have occurred during this period, necessitating not only the updating of many chapters of the handbook, but more startling, the addition and expansion of many topics.

The National Electrical Code is an internationally accepted safety code for electrical and power wiring. It specifies the minimum provisions necessary for protecting people and property from hazards arising from the use of electricity and electrical equipment. Anyone involved in any phase of the electrical industry must be aware of how to use and apply the Code on the job. It undergoes a rigorous review and revision process every 3 years by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). This book is a trusted resource for understanding and applying the Code.
