EXPECTATIONS

Attend classes and labs. Find out what you’ve missed if you’re

absent. Come earlier than the

lecturer/engineers. Log on to portal regularly. Ask lecturer/engineers whenever have

any problems related with the subject.

Moore’s Law

In 1965, Gordon Moore noted that the number of transistors on a chip doubled every 18 to 24 months.

He made a prediction that semiconductor technology will double its effectiveness every 18 months

Scaling….

Technology shrinks by 0.7/generation With every generation can integrate 2x more functions

per chip; chip cost does not increase significantly Cost of a function decreases by 2x But …

How to design chips with more and more functions? Design engineering population does not double every

two years… Hence, a need for more efficient design methods

Exploit different levels of abstraction

22

Design Metrics How to evaluate performance of a digital

circuit (gate, block, …)? Cost Reliability Scalability Speed (delay, operating frequency) Power dissipation Energy to perform a function

Why VLSI?

Integration improves the design Lower parasitics = higher speed Lower power consumption Physically smaller

Integration reduces manufacturing cost - (almost) no manual assembly
