EC6601 VLSI DESIGN LT P C

3003
OBJECTIVES:
In this course, the MOS circuit realization of the various building blocks that is common to any
microprocessor or digital VLSI circuit is studied.
Architectural choices and performance tradeoffs involved in designing and realizing the circuits in
CMOS technology are discussed.
The main focus in this course is on the transistor circuit level design and realization for digital
operation and the issues involved as well as the topics covered are quite distinct from those
encountered in courses on CMOS Analog IC design.
