A VLSI circuit design course for practitioners and researchers
نویسنده
چکیده
Graduate students can usually be classi ed in two categories: research engineers and practicing engineers. The microelectronic systems education of these two groups of students have di erent objectives. This paper describes a one semester course developed to meet the objectives for both groups of students. The course lectures cover custom and semicustom CMOS VLSI circuit design, and the laboratory utilizes a mixture of public domain and commercial CAD tools.

In this paper, we analyze a distributed amplifier based on input/output attenuation compensation. The analysis is carried out for a HEMT transistor; and a constant-k section filter is used to calculate the amplifier’s characteristics such as attenuation factor, phase constant and gain. The proposed design approach enables us to examine the tradeoff among the variables, which include the type an...
