In this paper, the authors discuss the design of an Integrated Circuit (IC) layout for a decoder. The layout was designed by using an open source software namely electric VLSI design system as the ...

Gate sizing is a fundamental technique in VLSI design, where the dimensions of transistors and gates are carefully adjusted to achieve optimal performance, minimise power consumption and reduce delay.

Two computer engineering PhD students from Northwestern University’s VLSI Research Lab presented papers at the 2019 International Solid-State Circuit Conference (ISSCC), the most prestigious ...

Imagine a world where the chips powering your smartphones, computers, and even cars are designed and tested with unparalleled precision and speed. Welcome to the realm of Very Large Scale Integration ...

“With the improvement of VLSI technology, on-chip power grid design is becoming more challenging than before. In this design phase of VLSI CAD, power grids are generated in order to make power and ...

Tools: Electric VLSI and Silvaco’s Greenpak. →Shift register and Boolean Logic units. This is an effort to layout a CPU based on the Von Neumann architecture.

In this paper, the authors develop enhanced energy consumption model to calculate and compare the hardware energy consumption of SPI and I2C digital serial interfaces in PIC (Programmable Interface ...
