Text book:
CMOS VLSI Design A Circuits and Systems Perspective, Neil Weste and David Harris, (4th Edition), Addison Wesley.
Course description:
Large-scale MOS design: MOS transistors, static and dynamic MOS gates, stick diagrams, MOS circuit fabrication, design rules, power and delay estimates, scaling, MOS combinational and sequential logic design, register and clocking schemes, memory, data-path, and control unit design. Elements of computer-aided circuit analysis and layout techniques.
Course Learning Outcomes (CLO):
This course requires the student to demonstrate the following
a) Describe how to build logic gates and data path components (memories, adders, multipliers…etc) in CMOS using multiple circuit styles.
b) Explain how VLSI chips are designed, tested and manufactured in lights of the effects of scaling and packaging on circuits.
c) Optimize circuits using delay models and logical effort.
d) Apply the concepts of timing; clocking, timing constraints, clock skew, jitter, and propagation delays.
e) Describe and analyse power consumption components in VLSI circuits.
f) Design a complex system using CAD-Tools for circuit analysis and layout.
