This course addresses issues of technology and engineering for modern CMOS digital circuit design, having in mind the problems an engineer will face when he designs a high performance digital system for on-chip implementation. These include: models and limitations of deep sub-micron technology, high performance static and dynamic circuits, electrical wire modeling and on-chip interconnects, energy and delay optimization, timing issues, memory related circuits, interconnecting sub-systems and packaging. Part of the course requirements is a small project. Texts: “Digital Integrated Circuits” by Rabaye, Chandrakasan and Nikolic, “CMOS Digital Integrated Circuits” by Kang and Leblebici, and “Digital Systems Engineering” by Dally and Poulton.
