Very Large Scale Integration CAD — Part II — Layout

This is the summary of the course VLSI CAD Part II: Layout from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The author of the course is Rob A. Rutenbar. Here’s the summary of the 1st course in the series. Placement Technology mapping Routing Timing Analysis Technology Mapping — transfroming boolean functions/networks into logic gates. Standard Cell Library — a library which contains «standard cells» — logic gates and small logic elements (XOR, NOR, NAND, flip-flop, adder, etc.) Standard Cell can be Читать дальше …

Very Large Scale Integration CAD — Part I — Logic

This is the summary of another course which I’ve passed on Coursera. Its name is VLSI CAD Part I: Logic. The author of the course is Rob A. Rutenbar from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The course talks about combinational logic synthesis: logic functions’ minimization, optimizing logic schemes etc. There’s also the 2nd course talking about placement, routing and timing analysis.
