What is Digital System Design?

Digital system design is a course focused on designing complex digital CMOS and Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) circuits. This course introduces MOS transistor characteristics and fabrication, digital circuit design and layout for integrated circuits, major categories of VLSI circuit functions, design methodologies including use of Hardware Description Languages (HDL), FPGA, verification, simulation, testability. The course includes a project using VHDL for the design of a significant system function.
