About this course

Digital integrated circuits are integral part of electronic equipment/gadgets starting from small toys to complex computer systems including personal digital assistants, mobile phones and Multimedia agents. This course will enable the students to acquire the basic skills to develop codes for VLSI circuits through Verilog programming and the fabrication process. This course will also enable them to use FPGA and ASIC chips for design and development of various applications. Thus this course is an advance but very useful course for electronic engineers.
