VLSI Design and Testing

This document provides information on the course "VLSI Design Verification & Testing" including the course code, category, credits, learning objectives, content, textbooks, assessment methods, and outcomes. The course aims to teach students testing and verification in the VLSI design process, ATPG concepts, and sequential circuit testing. It covers topics like high-level synthesis, logic synthesis, formal verification methods, model checking algorithms, binary decision diagrams, and digital testing techniques. Students will be assessed through weekly tests, monthly tests, and an end semester test. Upon completing the course, students will be able to apply testing concepts to improve IC design yields, tackle testing problems early in design, and understand verification and testing algorithms.
