Workshop Objective<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Our sessions are devised in a way where the individual participant will be exposed to different steps in the complex yet fascinating design processes involved in the realization of a VLSI project from end-to-end.\u00a0 We want our audience to experience the contours of VLSI design in an era of accelerated innovation and constrained resources.<\/p>\n

We want the participants to explore the indentations and in particular, with the massive opportunities which are arising out of the advancements in the field of VLSI, get familiar with the peripherals. We design systems and architectures and our focus at the workshop is thematically designed around four design parameters:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Digital Front-End Verification<\/li>\n
  2. Circuit Design<\/li>\n
  3. Layout<\/li>\n
  4. Place and Route<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Once completed, the individual participant will feel more confident about both the market opportunities and his\/her capabilities for taking part in this grand adventure.<\/p>\n

    Workshop Outline<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    Session 1: Introduction to Digital Front-End Verification Flow<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Presenter: Farshad<\/em>,<\/strong> Member of Technical Staff (MTS)<\/p>\n

    Digital Front-End Verification checks the functional equivalency of the RTL code with the design specification and also checks for the functional correctness of RTL.The Front-End verification also ensures that all the functional features are tested and all parts of the RTL code is reached by the verification path by using a metric known as functional coverage and code coverage respectively.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Session 2: Introduction to Place and Route (PnR)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Presenter: Shafaitul Islam Surush<\/em><\/strong>, Senior Engineer<\/p>\n

    Physical design process is often referred as PnR (Place and Route) \/ APR (Automatic Place & Route). The design-cycle of VLSI-chips consists of different consecutive steps from high-level synthesis (functional design) to production. The physical design is the process of transforming a circuit description into the physical layout. Main steps in physical design are placement of all logical cells, clock tree synthesis & routing. During this process of physical design timing, power, design & technology constraints have to be met. Furthermore, design is often optimized w.r.t area, power and performance.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Session 3: Introduction to Circuit Design & Simulation<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Presenter: S M Mojahidul Ahsan, <\/em>Engineer.<\/p>\n

    The purpose of circuit design is to develop a circuit representation based on active and passive elements from design specifications. The transfer functions are converted into a circuit representation by taking into consideration the speed and power requirements of the original design. Circuit Simulation is used to verify the correctness and timing of each design component. Deep understanding of design hierarchy and circuit debugging ability are also crucial skills for a circuit designer.<\/p>\n

    Session 4: Custom IC Mask Design<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Presenter: Wasif Absar, <\/em>Assistant Engr.<\/p>\n

    Integrated circuit layout also known as IC layout design is the representation of an integrated circuit in terms of planar geometric shapes which correspond to the patterns of metal, oxide, or semiconductor layers that make up the components of the integrated circuit.<\/p>\n
