Synopsis


This textbook covers a structured digital MOS design focusing on designing, verifying, and fabricating CMOS VLSI integrated circuits and modules. This textbook is designed to emphasize several topics that are essential to the practice of VLSI design as a system design discipline such as a systematic design methodology, good understanding of CMOS transistor, physical implementation of combinational and sequential logic network, and physical routing and placement issues. Begins design exercises and tutorials with basic inverters and proceeds to the design, verification, and performance of large complex digital logic networks. In addition, IC design methodologies and performance, scaling of MOS circuits, design and layout of subsystems such as PLA and memory, system timing will be covered. The laboratory includes computer exercises using CAD tools to design VLSI layouts and switch-level plus circuit-level simulations to design and analyze the design.
