Digital Integrated Circuits

Catalog description

This course will provide students with in-depth analysis and design capability required for state-of-the-art low-power and high-performance digital integrated circuits. Topics include the physics of operation and terminal I-V behavior of MOS devices, design and fabrication of the basic CMOS inverter and logic gates, static and dynamic circuits, pass-transistor logic, scaling-induced challenges, interconnect design, and VLSI testing basics.
