Electronic Design Automation Lab

Electronic Design Automation Lab

EDA lab offers a broad portfolio of tools relevant for the rapidly evolving Semiconductor technology process involved from wafer to chip to apply modern skills, techniques, and industry tools to create VLSI Circuits and Systems, perfectly aiming for placement of students in VLSI Core companies. TCAD software is used to develop and optimize semiconductor process technologies and devices using the powerful graphical user interface (GUI) driven simulation environment for managing and analyzing device simulation results. Cadence EDA software, provides a rigorous foundation in digital, analog and mixed-signal circuits, System Building Blocks, and FPGA architecture and trains the students in transistor budgets, clock speeds and the growing challenges of power consumption and productivity.  Further, it is used to analyze design issues and challenges in the chip design, related to custom IC design, package, PCB design, and system-level verification. Conducted various workshops and Faculty Development programs in collaboration with the industries Cadence Design Systems, Entuple technologies, CoreEL Technologies and Synopsys.

Description

The electronics industry has achieved a phenomenal growth over the last few decades, mainly due to the rapid advances in large scale integration technologies and system design applications.  With the advent of very large-scale integration (VLSI) designs, the number of applications of integrated circuits (ICs) in high-performance computing, controls, telecommunications, image and video processing, and consumer electronics has been rising at a very fast pace.  EDA Lab is established with the aim of conducting research process involved from wafer to chip, including device modelling and chip design to obtain the GDS file for fabrication and to establish links to meet industrial needs.
