APPLICATION SPECIFIC INTEGRATED CIRCUITS
Introduction to ASICs – Types of ASICs – Design flow – ASIC Cell libraries – CMOS logic- CMOS transistors – CMOS process – Design rule – Logic cells – combinational – sequential – datapath.
ASIC Library design – Programmable ASICs – Anti fuse – Static RAM – EPROM and EEPROM technology – programmable ASIC Logic cells – programmable ASIC interconnects.
Logic synthesis – Comparator/ MUX – HDL and Logic synthesis – multiplexers, decoders, adders and other combinational circuits. Shift registers, instantiation and clocking – finite state machine synthesis.
Simulation – types of simulation – cell models – delay models – static timing analysis - Formal verification.
Physical design – floor planning and placement – routing – Global and detailed routing.
Testing – Boundary scan test – Automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) – Built in self test – Faults and Fault models.
