Course Description
This course aims to convey a knowledge of advanced concepts
of circuit design for digital VLSI components in state of the art MOS technologies.
Emphasis is on the circuit design, optimization, and layout of either very high
speed, high density or low power circuits for use in applications such as
micro-processors, signal and multimedia processors, memory and periphery.
Special attention will devoted to the most important challenges facing digital
circuit designers today and in the coming decade, being the impact of scaling,
deep submicron effects, interconnect, signal integrity, power distribution and
consumption, and timing.
This semester, special attention will be given to the following topics:
design for deep-submicron CMOS, high-speed design styles, circuitry for digital radio, timing, arithmetic building blocks, and impact of
interconnect. This will reflected in both the lectures and the preferred
projects.
