Objective of course: (one paragraph 3-4 lines)


ASIC design, using commercial tools and pre-designed cell libraries, is the fastest, most cost-effective, and least error-prone method of IC design. As a consequence, ASICs and ASIC design methods have become increasingly popular in industry for a wide range of electronic systems applications. This course will describe and present solutions for the most difficult current challenges in ASIC design
