Integrated circuit design

This unit helps you build a solid understanding of the performance, specification, and fabrication of large-scale digital circuits, including MOS transistor principles, CMOS inverters, building blocks, and interconnects. You’ll explore how to design, simulate, verify, and debug complex digital circuits using a Hardware Description Language (HDL) and current CAD tools with FPGA development boards. You’ll also become familiar with very large-scale integrated (VLSI) circuit design flow methodologies, including layout placement, partitioning, floor planning, and routing.
