Advanced High Performance VLSI Design

3-4 credits · College of Engineering catalogue

Advisory Prerequisite: None. Enforced Prerequisite: EECS 627; No OP/F. Minimum grade requirement of “C” for enforced prerequisite. (3-4 credits) Advanced issues in VLSI design addressing the areas of high performance, low power and reliability. Topics covered include recent approaches in leakage control, high speed on-chip communication, memory design, soft error failures, noise analysis and control, error tolerant design and new circuit families. (Students will complete an advanced project.) (A 4-credit option is available with addition of a substantial design and simulation component to the project.)
