Electronic Design Automation

IC Design and Verification

VLSI Verilog (72 Hours)

​

What’s the course about

​

Very-large-scale integration (VLSI) is the process of creating an integrated circuit (IC) by combining thousands of transistors into a single chip. In other words, an IC has many transistors on one chip, while VLSI has very many transistors on one chip. A modern VLSI chip is a complex beast with billions of transistors, millions of logic gates deployed for computation and control.

​

Course objective

​

The course aims to provide students a thorough understanding of the fundamental concepts and design of VLSI systems. It teaches digital circuit design process, design methodologies of VLSI systems, various concepts of VLSI systems such as MOS transistors, and digital CMOS logic designs.

Students will learn how to develop architecture using industry standard tools, design digital circuits, as well as verification of large scale designs. They will get a direct and inclusive treatment of VLSI design processes and rules of designs.
