CCEN 410 VLSI Systems Design

This course provides an introduction to the fabrication of digital VLSI (Very Large Scale Integrated) systems and design and layout of VLSI circuits for complex digital systems. Also, circuit characterization and performance are introduced. Interconnect, timing, synchronization issues, low-power designs, fault models and design for testability techniques are presented. Lastly, VLSI design methodologies and commercial CAD simulation and synthesis tools are discussed.
