Analysis and design of digital integrated circuits

Lectures: 2 sessions / week, 1.5 hours / session

This course covers the analysis and design of digital integrated circuits using CMOS technology. The course emphasizes design, and requires extensive use of MAGIC for circuit layout, and HSPICE and IRSIM for simulations.

Basic device physics (6.012 or equivalent) and basic logic design (6.004 or equivalent).

There is a significant emphasis on the design aspect of the digital design process. The grade is based on problem sets, one design project, and two in-class quizzes. The final grade is calculated approximately using the following weights:
