This is the second term of an approved two term undergraduate and graduate sequence. The second term's goals are to continue the study of CMOS circuit and logic design. A laboratory is integrated into the lecture and students will gain skills in device and small scale integrated circuit simulation, and CMOS IC layout.
Detailed syllabus for this course is in PDF format.
This is the second term of an approved two term undergraduate sequence and an approved three term graduate sequence. The second term’s goals are to apply the results of last term’s study of MOSFET gates and use them in small design problems; to introduce the steps used in floor-planning of digital subsystems and circuits; and introduce the study of test and manufacturability of digital MOS circuits. A laboratory is integrated into the lecture. Students will gain skills in device and small scale integrated circuit simulation and, CMOS IC layout. Graduate students are encouraged this term to complete an independent design project. The details of the project will be discussed separately.
An integral part of ABET course documentation is to define each undergraduate course using departmental program outcomes. Listed below are the outcomes for Digital Integrated Circuit Design II.
