| VLSI Circuit Design: Very-large-scale integration (VLSI) is the process of creating integrated circuits by combining thousands of transistor-based circuits into a single chip. VLSI began in the 1970s when complex semiconductor and communication technologies were being developed. |
| ____The CompE 572 course will introduce techniques and tools for scalable VLSI design and analysis. Emphasis is on physical design and on performance analysis. The course includes extensive lab experiments and hands-on usage of software design tools.
Upon complition of this course, the student will be able to develop, layout and simulate fabricatable designs of VLSI building-block modules, such as registers and arithmetic units, and medium-scale VLSI chips. |
