CMOS VLSI Design

Catalog description

The design of special-purpose digital systems using very large-scale integration (VLSI) technology is investigated using complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS). MOSFET modeling, dynamic power dissipation, clocking strategies, and transistor delays are considered. Students will: appraise MOSFET device characteristics; estimate parasitic R, and C delays; compare different-sized transistors; design static, dynamic, low-power, and sequential VLSI circuits and calculate power dissipation; discuss clocking strategies.
