EE 8356 - Advanced VLSI Design and Lab


Credits: 3

Explores the advanced mixed-signal VLSI design aspects involved in the realization of CMOS integrated circuits and systems, from device up to the high-speed VLSI circuits and real system-level design. Addresses major design methodologies, with emphasis on full-custom mixed-signal VLSI design. Includes the study of the CMOS advanced VLSI circuits, logics, high-speed interconnect, and key building blocks that determine the performance of VLSI circuits. Also, CMOS VLSI IC design, from transistor-level schematic to layout for fabrication. Students use state-of-the-art CAD tools (e.g., Cadence) to verify designs and develop efficient circuit layouts. Prerequisites: C or better in EE 2381, EE 7356 .
