VLSI Circuit Design Workstations

本项目的目的是配置六个网络化工程 配有高分辨率彩色显示器、两台绘图仪和 一台打印机，用作实验室设备， VLSI数字和模拟电路设计课程。 设备 将允许电气工程本科生建模， 设计、模拟和生产用于超大规模集成电路的掩模。 通过MOSIS制造电路将关闭设计 循环：概念-设计-布局-仿真-测试。 该项目 从几个方面来看，这一点很重要：（1）实验室 设备，并与适当的讲座协调 材料将很快教学生如何设计，而不是 简单分析，（2）它将是一个很好的教学工具， 结合基本的科学和工程原理， 电子学、器件物理学、数字系统、处理和 信号理论，往往是教彼此独立， 其他课程，（3）它将消除复杂的神秘感 设计一个良好的激励和培养机制 信心

The aim of this project is to configure six networked engineering workstations with high resolution color monitors, two plotters and a printer to be used as laboratory equipment in support of a course in VLSI digital and analog circuit design. The equipment will allow undergraduate electrical engineering students to model, design, and simulate and produce masks for VLSI circuits. Fabrication of the circuits through MOSIS will close the design loop: concept-design-layout-simulation-testing. The project is significant from several standpoints: (1) a laboratory with this equipment and coordinated with lectures around appropriate material will quickly teach students how to design rather than simply analyze, (2) it will be a good teaching vehicle to bring together basic scientific and engineering principles in electronics, device physics, digital systems, processing, and signal theory that are often taught independent of one another in other courses, and (3) it will remove the mystery of complex designs and be a good mechanism to inspire and build student confidence.
