Advanced VLSI System Design

Credit: 4 hours.

Students will work in teams on a semester-long project to design and fabricate their own digital, analog, or mixed-signal chip using modern EDA tools. Each team will propose a design in the form of specifications, write an RTL (or equivalent) model for their chip and its components, design schematics, create a testing/debug strategy, and perform layout, integration, and verification of their chip. Final GDS files will be sent to foundry at the end of semester.

4 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours. Prerequisite: Prior experience in hardware design and layout. At least one of ECE 385 or ECE 411 or ECE 425 or ECE 482 or ECE 483.
