| | In this course, you will learn how to analyze, simulate, and design ready-to-fabricate digital integrated circuits (ICs). Topics include combinational circuits, sequential circuits, arithmetic blocks, and memories. We will discuss modern VLSI design issues including variation, power, leakage, and optimization. A semester-long design project will allow you (working in small groups) to apply your new knowledge to your own IC design. You will gain valuable experience by using industry-standard CAD tools for VLSI circuit design, simulation, and layout during the project. This course will expose you to the major circuit-related opportunities and challenges in the microelectronics industry and equip you to design custom digital ICs. |
