Engineering Sciences 63 - Introduction to VLSI Systems

Institution:

Dartmouth College

Description:

08F, 09F: M,Th 3:00-5:00 This course provides an introduction to VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) systems. It starts by examining basic CMOS logic circuits and VLSI design styles, and then surveys VLSI architectures and current trends in chip design. A group design project is required in which students specify the function of a large digital system, decompose it into primitive components, lay out its physical design, and verify and debug its digital behavior. Students learn to use modern CAD (Computer-Aided Design) tools, which are essential in managing the complexity that VLSI offers. Chips designed by students are fabricated by the MOSIS fabrication service during the winter term. Students then test and evaluate their designs. Grades will not be reported until this task is completed. Prerequisite: Engineering Sciences 31. Dist: TAS. Wissel.
