ECE 529

ADVANCED VLSI DESIGN

• Course Objective
  To give students a clear understanding of the fundamental concepts of modern CMOS VLSI design. Students will learn the design of complex and high performance CMOS systems from system level to circuit level.

• Topics Covered
  High Performance Design, Logic families, Low-Power Design, Leakage estimation and prevention, Clocking schemes and interconnect, Algorithm and architecture level optimization, High performance arithmetic units, VLSI signal processing, Advanced memory units, Reconfigurable and reprogrammable logic, FPGAs

• Prerequisites
  ECE 429 and Graduate status. Familiarity with CMOS circuits, logic and digital system design, combinational and sequential logic gates. Experience with CAD tools from Cadence, synopsys, and Hardware description languages such as Verilog or VHDL.
