ECE6132

Advanced VSLIC Analog/Digital Systems Design

Full-custom design and analysis techniques of ASICs. Metal- Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) devices, circuits and future trends. MOS processing and design rules. Extensive circuit simulation. Analog VSLIC basic functions. Graphical model representation. Amplifiers. Current mirrors. Computer Aided Design (CAD) of analog integrated circuits. Layout and design for testability considerations. Implementing integrated system design from circuit topology to patterning geometry to wafer fabrication. The course is project oriented. Students start with concepts and finish with testing and evaluating ASIC prototypes. Previously EE 683 and ECE 683. Credit cannot be received for more than one of EE 683, ECE 683, ECE 6132. Prerequisites: At least one course from the core and theory group of courses and permission of instructor.
