Introduction to VLSI System Design

(3 Credits)

This course covers CMOS processing technology, MOS transistor theory, static/dynamic circuit and logic design techniques, circuit performance estimation, standard cells and gate arrays, clocking strategies, input/output structures, datapath, memory and control logic design. Advanced VLSI CAD tools are used for schematic capture, layout, timing analysis and simulations for functionality and performance. | Prerequisite: Senior or Graduate status, CS-UY 2204 & EE-UY 3114 or equivalent.
