Introduction to VLSI Design

4 Hours

Explore theory and practice of very-large-scale integration (VLSI) circuit design. Examine metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistors; static and dynamic complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) combinational and sequential circuits; design of adders, multipliers, and shifters; performance, power consumption and testing. Use computer-aided design (CAD) tools for layout, timing analysis, synthesis, physical design, and verification. Electrical and Computer Engineering 460R and Electrical Engineering 460R may not both be counted. Three lecture hours and three laboratory hours a week for one semester.
