The art of VLSI circuit design is dynamic with advances in process technology and innovations in the electronic design automation (EDA) industry. The objective of this laboratory course is to demonstrate the various stages in VLSI design flow using cadence software. Hands on training on logic and circuit simulations of MOSFETS, ring oscillators, multiplexers, analog amplifiers etc are included. The course also covers physical layout of complex logic gates for chip design. VLSI designs are widely used in automobiles, mobiles and embedded processors.
