CMOS devices and deep sub-micron manufacturing technology. CMOS inverters and complex gates. Modeling of interconnect wires. Optimization of designs with respect to a number of metrics: cost, reliability, performance, and power dissipation. Sequential circuits, timing considerations, and clocking approaches. Design of large system blocks, including arithmetic, interconnect, memories, and programmable logic arrays. Introduction to design methodologies, including laboratory experience.
We look at various digital circuit design styles and architectures as well as the issues that designers must face, such as technology scaling and the impact of interconnect. Implementations of basic CMOS logic gates will be discussed first, looking at optimizing the speed, area, or power. The learned techniques will be applied on more evolved designs such as adders and multipliers. The influence of interconnect parasitics on circuit performance and approaches to cope with them are treated in detail. Substantial attention will then be devoted to sequential circuits, clocking approaches and memories. The class includes getting familiar with industrial design automation and verification tools, and using them in assignments, labs and projects.
This program seeks to fill the educational gaps within the field of integrated circuit design using a fully online and interactive method. This is a base graduate-level course in digital IC design intended to provide an entry point for the aspiring digital IC designers.
A module is a grouping of topics related to one area of study, typically with readings, lectures and various kinds of assignments. Each module contains a list of Learning Outcomes for the module. Your assignments reflect the learning activities to perform to reach those outcomes.
Recorded lectures support your readings and assignments but also contain additional material that may be included in the exams. Each lecture has been broken into sections. You are expected to take notes while viewing the lectures as you would in a regular classroom.
Reading assignments include sections of the required textbook, distributed readings, and supplementary notes. Reading assignments are indicated on Module Overview pages, and will also be included in homework assignments where appropriate. Supplementary notes will be provided for topics where lecture coverage is substantially different from the textbook. Students are responsible for all material in the reading. In particular, the scope of coverage for problem sets, quizzes, the design project, and the final examination includes the reading assignments as well as lecture material.
The design tools you will use during the semester has been made available by the EDA major vendors for sole use in this course. They are not to be employed for any other purpose. In addition, all information provided in the form of manuals and tutorials is protected, and should not be shared or disseminated to anyone else.
We will use the web conferencing tool Zoom to hold live instructional sessions online. You will be able to ask questions via webcam, microphone, and text chat. You can enter the online classroom through the classroom home page.
Discussion sessions are weekly supplementary 1hr live sessions, and will be led by the designated graduate course facilitators. They typically take a more in-depth look at topics covered in the lecture videos.
A major component of the course is the topic discussion questions posed to you each week. These discussions reinforce and expand upon ideas presented in the lectures, as well as present new content beyond those lectures.
Quality and quantity participation count in the online discussions. Quantity includes the number of questions which you complete for the week as well as the number of replies you make to other student posts. Quality includes, among other things:
There will be a number of problem sets assigned over the course of the semester, approximately one per week. Electronic versions of your completed problem sets must be turned in online by the due date assigned. Late assignments will not be accepted. Solutions will be posted on the Modules page.
There will be a course project to complete during the second half of the semester. The project will bring together the skills developed in the labs as well as the topics covered in lecture. The project will be done in 2 phases. Use the Course Project page as your resource for all project materials and information.
There will be 2 midterm exams during the semester. The first exam will be held around Week 6, covering Modules 1-4. The second exam will be held around Week 12, covering Modules 5-8. Both will be online, and more information will be provided as we get closer to the dates.
Coverage
EECS 312 introduces students to the analysis and design of digital integrated circuits. MOSFET operation and the design of high-performance and low-power logic gates are covered, as are combinational and sequential logic design fundamentals.
Lab
Manual analysis and commercial computer-aided design software will be used throughout the semester during the design and evaluation of increasingly complex circuits. Laboratory assignments will require a gradually increasing degree of creativity in determining circuit components and structure, culminating in an open-ended final design project. Students will learn basic digital circuit performance, power consumption, and reliability optimization techniques.
Additional Information
EECS 312 provides a bridge between discrete digital system design based on switching and sequential network theory and the non-ideal devices from which real integrated circuits are constructed. It builds a foundation for later courses in VLSI Design and also gives computer architects a competitive advantage by exposing them to the complex, non-digital behavior of the devices and circuits with which digital systems are implemented.
Progressive in content and form, this text successfully bridges the gap between the circuit perspective and system perspective of digital integrated circuit design. Beginning with solid discussions on the operation of electronic devices and in-depth analysis of the nucleus of digital design, the text maintains a consistent, logical flow of subject matter throughout. The revision addresses today's most significant and compelling industry topics, including: the impact of interconnect, design for low power, issues in timing and clocking, design methodologies, and the tremendous effect of design automation on the digital design perspective. The revision reflects the ongoing evolution in digital integrated circuit design, especially with respect to the impact of moving into the deep-submicron realm.
