VLSI Circuits and Systems Lab

VLSI Design Laboratory Profile(EC-792)

General information about the Laboratory: VLSI Design laboratory is situated 2nd floor; room no. 316B.Geometric area of this lab is about 900 square feet. According to present curriculum B-Tech (ECE) 7th Semester Students perform experiments on VLSI Design. This lab has been established to give idea to the students about the configuration and simulation of Very Large Scale Integrated Circuits & Systems. Basic objectives of this lab to explore various design style of simple and complex Integrated Circuits(IC) near to students. In this laboratory students are able to understand about models and model parameters of various devices like MOSFET, BJT, and DIODE etc. which are suited for IC Technology. Starting from schematic design, lay out design is carried out in this laboratory in micron, submicron and deep submicron level using Tanner Tools and Cadence. This is also useful for research and development in field of VLSI circuits.
