Course Description:
This course will cover VLSI circuit design topics, focusing on VLSI high-speed I/O (or broadband) circuits. This
course is intended for first or second year graduate students, covering theoretical basis, design, modeling, and
validation techniques for various VLSI high-speed I/O circuits. The objective of this course is to build a practical
knowledge of the high-speed I/O circuits and the applications for various industry high-speed I/O circuit standards,
such as LVDS, USB2.0, 1394, S-ATA, PCI-Express, etc. There will be weekly (bi-weekly) HW and class projects.
CAD tools such as CADENCE, MATLAB will be used during the class.
