Identical to description

Aims

At the end of this course, the students will be able to

  • Design, simulate and synthesize a digital specific integrated circuit (ASIC)
  • Be able to use Cadence and Synopsys
  • Design and simulate basic cells
  • Incorporate these basic cells in the design of the ASIC
  • Optimize the synthesis of the ASIC
Evaluation methods
The evaluation is based on the work during the semester and the final project
 
Teaching methods
  • Learning is based on courses accompanied by seminars, homework and a project.
  • Each student will design and simulate an ASIC in the project
Content
