EL 402 VLSI SYSTEM DESIGN II
Spring 2009
Instructor: Ilker Hamzaoglu

Description: This course introduces System-on-a-chip (SoC)
ASICs and it describes various embedded cores used in SoC
ASICs. It then discusses the design and verification of SoC
ASICs. In this course, students will also gain practical design experience by
using Arm7 simulation model, Modelsim
(Mentor Graphics) and Design Compiler (Synopsys) CAD tools to implement and verify a prototype SoC ASIC. The SoC ASIC will be
implemented using Verilog HDL and standard cell based
design methodology.
