The VLSI Design Lab has some of the latest and most advance EDA tools and FPGA boards. These includes Cadence EDA Tools, Mentor Graphics EDA Tools, MATLAB, Xilinx,Synopsys TCAD-Full university bundle and HSPICE simulator, and Vivado Tools for Verilog HDL programming. The lab is currently housed in Room no. N 107 and primarily focuses on experimental studies of VLSI Technology and Design, All the above software tools are hosted on two dedicated servers that support both these labs.
The VLSI Design Lab has state-of-the-art VLSI EDA Tools that enables our students to learn and design various VLSI Circuits and Devices.
• Cadence EDA Tools: A University Bundle is available along with SCL PDk of 180nm.
• Synopsys EDA Tools: A University Bundle is available along with SCL PDk of 180nm.
• TCAD EDA Tools: A University Bundle is available along with SCL PDk of 180nm.
• Cogenda EDA Tools: A University Bundle is available along with SCL PDk of 180nm.
