VLSI Design

Lecturer: Dr P. Robinson (pr@cl.cam.ac.uk)

No. of lectures and examples classes: 14 + 2

Prerequisite courses: Digital Electronics, Structured Hardware Design, ECAD, Computer Design

Aims

This course will introduce the design of very large scale integrated circuits. The material develops an understanding of the whole spectrum from semiconductor physics through transistor-level design and system design to architecture, and promotes the associated tools for computer aided design.
