Prerequisite: VLSI design methodology or equivalent Representation of Boolean function. Synthesis of two-level and multi-level combinational circuits. Synthesis of sequential circuits. Test and synthesis for test ability. Decomposition, allocation, assignment and scheduling in high-level synthesis.

Purpose of lecture

This course is designed to cover the underlining theories and technologies which support the systematic design process of current VLSIs.
