Purpose
|
| The course will provide the
students with an understanding basic knowledge for analysis and design of
VLSI systems. Key topics are fundamentals on logic and sequential circuits,
functional and arithmetic units, registers and memories, and etc.. By use
of above components, basics of processor architectures are also discussed.

Condition for paticipating
|
Those who have ever learned this subject are strongly
recommended to attend at the "Advanced VLSI
systems" held at the following semester.
|
Evaluation:
|
Students are principally
graded based on mid-term and term examinations. Additionally, attendance
to
lecture classes, quiz at a class, , and etc are considered..
|
From lecturers: |
For students in information
and systems laboratories, the subject is very important to implement
practical information systems. For students in devices and matricals
laboratories, the subject
provides applications and backgrounds of their research fields.
