Program Description
This VLSI Design course starts by covering the importance of digital design, differences between analog and digital signals, the benefits of digitization, and number systems. It includes Boolean algebra, logic gates, and simplification techniques like Karnaugh maps. The course then delves into binary addition, designing half and full adders, subtractors, and multiplexers, essential for VLSI design. It explores sequential circuits, flip-flops, registers, counters, and state machines, including Mealy and Moore models. The course concludes by detailing memory types, tri-state buffers, and programmable logic devices like PROM, PLA, PAL, CPLDs, and FPGAs, along with VLSI design styles and applications. Through these modules, participants gain a comprehensive understanding of VLSI design principles and techniques, preparing them for practical applications in the field.
