E VLSI DESIGN I YEAR / II SEMESTER COURSE OBJECTIVE In recent years, enormous growth has occurred in terms portability of the computation. Computing demands from battery operated devices are increasing rapidly. This course is targeted to capture all the information regarding the existing techniques and future challenges for CMOS VLSI design that consumes low power. The first objective is to study power estimates at various levels of abstraction, namely RT level, logic level, behavioural and software level. Next, we would cover low power synthesis and optimization techniques. We would conclude with low voltage design styles with increasing emphasis on leakage power, interconnect, reliability. The main focuses of this course are: To understand the basics of digital low power design To practice EDA tools to develop and analyze digital systems at register-transfer level To understand the principle of system-level power reduction To gain proficiency in low-power digital design techniques
