The advisor can be contacted any time by phone or email.
You can always pop by but I recommend to make an appointment first. This guarantees that I have time.
Content
The complexity in modern VLSI design forces the use of
Electronic
Design Automation in each design phase. This lecture presents
fundamental concepts, techniques, and algorithms for the computer-aided
design of integrated digital and analog circuits. Formal and compact
descriptions of the key problems in design are accompanied by examples
highlighting their solution. This concise and thorough analysis of
principal design problems deepens the understanding of circuit design
as such.
The course covers topics like synthesis of digital circuits, Boolean Algebra,
combinatorial optimization, multi-output functions and optimization,
logic simulation, VHDL, and testing as well as design for test.
Layout synthesis (place and route) is covered in the second part of the course.
Course Materials
Handouts as well as a set of tutorials with solutions are given
to each student. Additionally, electronic versions will be provided on this site.
