1. Design Entry and simulation of combinational logic circuits (8 bit adders, 4 bit

multipliers, address decoders, multiplexers), Test bench creation, functional

verification, and concepts of concurrent and sequential execution to be highlighted.

2. Design Entry and simulation of sequential logic circuits (counters, PRBS generators,

accumulators). Test bench creation, functional verification, and concepts of

concurrent and sequential execution to be highlighted.

3. Synthesis, P&R and Post P&R simulation for all the blocks/codes developed in Expt.

No. 1 and No. 2 given above. Concepts of FPGA floor plan, critical path, design gate

count, I/O configuration and pin assignment to be taught in this experiment.

4. Generation of configuration/fuse files for all the blocks/codes developed as part of

Expt.1. and Expt. 2. FPGA devices must be configured and hardware tested for the

blocks/codes developed as part of Expt. 1. and Expt. 2. The correctness of the

inputs and outputs for each of the blocks must be demonstrated atleast on

oscilloscopes (logic analyzer preferred).

5. Schematic Entry and SPICE simulation of MOS differential amplifier. Determination

of gain, bandwidth, output impedance and CMRR.

6. Layout of a simple CMOS inverter, parasitic extraction and simulation.

7. Design of a 10 bit number controlled oscillator using standard cell approach,

simulation followed by study of synthesis reports.

8. Automatic layout generation followed by post layout extraction and simulation of the

circuit studied in Expt. No.7

Note 1. For Expt. 1 To 4 can be carried out using Altera (Quartus) / Xilinx (Alliance) /

ACTEL (Libero) tools.

Note 2. For expt. 5-8 introduce the student to basics of IC design. These have to be

carried out using atleast 0.5u CMOS technology libraries. The S/W tools needed

Cadence / MAGMA / Tanner.
