ENGINEERING 128 - HDL-Based System Design

Institution:

Dartmouth College

Subject:

Description:

Not offered in the period from 08F through 10S The methods, tools, and technology used in the design and synthesis of complex digital systems will be discussed, with emphasis on problems addressed in industry today. The course focus will be on the description, validation, and synthesis of systems slated for implementation as ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits). A major system design is undertaken in which the student will design, analyze, and optimize a macrocell of the CMOS ASIS circuit. This analysis and some homework assignments will require the student to perform circuit simulation, analysis, validation, and synthesis using the industry-standard hardware-description language Verilog as well as other appropriate CAD tools. By completion of the course, the student should have the skills necessary to contribute significantly to a Verilog-based chip design effort in industry or academic research. Prerequisite: Engineering Sciences 32 and 63 or permission of the instructor.
