About the track
The Basic VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) Design course is EAMTA's most traditional track. It is also known as the "Introduction Track" and is the initiation course for all students who pass through the School.
Track goal
Track goal
To provide the student with the knowledge of the physical fundamentals of MOS device operation, as well as the fundamental principles of the CMOS microfabrication process. Also, provide the students the ability to design basic analog and digital circuits, as well as the use of CAD tools.
Hands-on project: 4-bit counter
Hands-on project: 4-bit counter
The objective of the project is that the student learns the physical fundamentals of the operation of MOS devices, as well as the fundamental principles of CMOS integrated circuits fabrication. It also allows the student to acquire the ability to design basic analog and digital circuits, as well as the use of CAD tools.
The objective of this activity is to propose a moderated design problem to test the use of VLSI circuit design tools.
The student will have to verify the logic and electrical circuit that is presented, and once this stage is passed, proceed to design the physical design of the circuit.
