Catalog Entry
CS 181 abc. VLSI Design Laboratory.
12 units (3-6-3); first, second, third terms.
Digital integrated systems design, with projects involving the design,
verification, and testing of high-complexity CMOS microcircuits. First-term
lecture and homework topics emphasize disciplined design, and include CMOS
logic, layout, and timing; computer-aided design and analysis tools; and
electrical and performance considerations. Each student is required in the
first term to complete individually the design, layout, and verification of
a moderately complex integrated circuit. Advanced topics second and third
terms include self-timed design, computer architecture, and other topics
that vary year by year. Projects are large-scale designs done by teams.
