ECE 353 CMOS VLSI Design

The design of special purpose digital systems using VLSI technology is investigated using CMOS technology. MOSFET modeling, dynamic power dissipation, clocking strategies and transistor delays are considered. Students will: understand MOS device modeling and DC transfer characteristics; understand parasitic R,L,C and delay estimation and transistor sizing; understand sequential circuits and clocking strategies; design static and dynamic CMOS VLSI circuits; understand dynamic power dissipation and low power VLSI design techniques; use VLSI tools to simulate and produce technical reports.
