Introduction to Digital (VLSI) Design
This graduate-level course provides an introduction to digital very large-scale integration (VLSI) design from architectural considerations down to the layout level. Lecture, labs, and homework topics emphasize disciplined synchronous VLSI design and include topics of CMOS logic, layout, and timing; computer-aided design and analysis tools; electrical and performance considerations.
Topics
- Quantitatively evaluate CMOS technology parameters for digital applications.
- Design digital circuit modules at the module timing, circuit schematic and layout levels.
- Perform digital circuit simulation and verification in the CAD software.
