Digital VLSI Design and Field Programmable Gate Arrays.

Catalog description

Students design and build a digital system, such as a CMOS integrated circuit. Topics may include CMOS transistor operation, manufacturing process for CMOS VLSI chips, implementation of logic gates in CMOS, specifically layout, design rules, and FPGA families and evolving of FPGA. Students also learn advanced digital circuit design techniques for analyzing and optimizing timing and power at the circuit level, synthesis, timing analysis, functional verification, design-for-test with the aid of CAD, and FPGA/VHDL tools. Prerequisite: ETEE 3345 and COSC 3327 .
