ASIC Design

Catalog description

This is a course in digital ASIC design, including a deeper insight into the design of high-performance and power-efficient CMOS circuits. The parasitics inherent to MOSFETs are used as a basis for transistor sizing. Techniques for estimating wire loads are discussed. CMOS circuits will implement cells of arbitrary digital logic functions for both static and dynamic logic. Prerequisite: CPE 212 ; CS 370 ; PHY 335 . Offered Occasionally.
