DESCRIPTION:

The aim of this course is to convey a knowledge of advanced concepts of circuit design for digital LSI and VLSI components in state-of-the-art MOS technologies.

Emphasis is on circuit design, and optimization of either very high-speed or low-power circuits for use in applications such as microprocessors, signal and multimedia processors, communications, memory and periphery.

Special attention will be devoted to the most important challenges facing digital circuit designers today and in the coming decade, being the impact of scaling, deep sub-micron effects, interconnect, signal integrity, power distribution and consumption, and timing.
