CSE 463M - Digital Integrated Circuit Design and Architecture

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

This is a project-oriented course on digital VLSI design. The course material focuses on bottom-up design of digital integrated circuits, starting from CMOS transistors, CMOS inverters, combinational circuits and sequential logic designs. Important design aspect of digital integrated circuits such as propagation delay, noise margins and power dissipation are covered in the class, and design challenges in submicron technology are addressed. The students design combinational and sequential circuits at various levels of abstraction using state-of-the-art CAD environment provided by Cadence Design Systems. The goal of the class is to design a microprocessor in 0.5 micron technology that can be fabricated by a semiconductor foundry. Prerequisites: CSE 260 and ESE 232.
