520.492: Mixed-Signal
VLSI Systems
Design
Projects
Spring
2005
The VLSI experience gained in the course culminates in the class design
project, which takes students through a complete design cycle, from an algorithmic and system-level
description to transistor-level implementation in an integrated circuit. Groups of two or three students design
and layout a VLSI system-on-a-chip using the Cadence CAD tools, including
post-layout verification and simulation.
Select designs are fabricated through MOSIS, and laboratory
facilities are available for testing after the course.
Students in class
work closely together with and receive guidance from graduate students
in the Adaptive Microsystems
Laboratory. This provides for valuable research training
experience for the students in class, and also educational training
experience for the graduate students in the laboratory.
Detailed instructions
and guidelines for the project can be found here.
Information on Spring 2005 design projects appears below, with links to
the final reports. Previous design projects are archived here.
