Ability to design and implement CMOS digital circuits (combinational and sequential) Ability to optimize CMOS digital circuits with respect to different constraints: size (cost), speed, power dissipation, and reliability Ability to design, simulate and analyze digital integrated circuits using Cadence
Modern trends of development of modern digital circuits with a large scale of integration. Introduction to the design of digital circuits using a computer. Stick diagrams. Design masks techniques for digital circuits (full-custom and semi-custom). Synthesis of layout, design, simulation and verification. Design rules in the software package CADENCE. Design of basic digital circuit (inverter, OR, NOR, EXOR). Half-adders, full adders, flip-flops. Designing the basic memory elements. Counters. Design of PLA structure. Design of dynamic logic circuits. Using blocks in the design of complex digital circuits. Definition of basic and derived generating layers in CADENCE. Generation of the industry standard files (.CIF, .GDSII). Development of scientific and technical documentation after design.
Lectures. Laboratory practice. The course is based on lectures, where theoretical concepts are explained and illustrated using design examples, and laboratory lessons. Simple digital logic circuits are analyzed using Cadence design tools. During the first part of laboratory work (4 weeks) students are taking this lessons in group of two, learning the Cadence environment. After that, they have to solve problems individually, with the guidance of teaching assistant. Carried out laboratory practices are included with up to 10% in final grade.
