ECE
433/ECE 533 Laboratory
Spring 2018
The labs are designed to give advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students a working knowledge of CMOS digital integrated circuit technology, circuit design methods, including simulation and physical layout, and design methods for CMOS digital and analog circuit structures. Cadence will be used widely for Circuit simulation.
Labs and Projects are to be done individually. Please review the lab policy.
You can access the "Design Rule" through this link.
