ECE 450 - Principles of VLSI

Institution:

York College of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Summer Semester This course discusses the theory and design of digital systems at the transistor level. Beginning with the characteristics of the static CMOS inverter, this course explores alternative design techniques such as dynamic logic and NMOS design. Having established a basis for discussion, the topics of circuit delay and power consumption are introduced, with an emphasis on the problems facing modern VLSI designers, and thus the entire semiconductor industry. Finally, the course discusses the relative importance of VLSI techniques in larger scale designs, including the architectural impact of the underlying circuits. Prerequisite: ECE220. 3 credit hours.
