ELE 863 VLSI Systems

An advanced course on design of low-power high-speed CMOS integrated circuits using deep submicron CMOS technology. The course consists of two essential components; theory and project. The theoretical component consists of: advanced topics on modeling of MOS transistors, modeling of interconnects (lumped, distributed RC, distributed RLC, and transmission line models), layout techniques for high-speed digital and missed analog-digital circuit, impedance matching networks, clock generation and distribution, power distribution on chip, grounding of mixed analog-digital circuits, input/output circuits and pad design, packaging and ESD protection, switching noise, high-level power estimation, reliability and design for manufacturability, testing and design for testability. The project component consists of design, layout, and simulation of CMOS circuits using state-of-the-art CMOS technology and CAD tools. Lect: 3 hrs./Lab: 1 hr. Prerequisite: ELE 704 or ELE 734 Course Weight: 1.00 Billing Units: 1
