VLSI DESIGN LAB


VLSI design lab offers access to electronic equipments, EDA tools and information used in the various courses taught during the course of undergraduate and post-graduate studies. Additionally, it maintains a very popular VLSI Design and Simulation Lab, Computer and Electronic Simulation lab and MEMS Design Centre cum lab for UG & PG students and faculty.

The lab has the facility to design and simulate devices using 180nm CMOS technology. Full-custom Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) design facility. Front end and Back end designing is carried out. Complete design flow and various verification are carried out like DRC, LVS and GDSII.

The air conditioned lab is fully equiped with 50 high processing computers with latest configuration.
