Introduction of Integrated Circuits

Research Interests and Focus• VLSI (Very-Large-Scale-Integration) Design and CAD (computer-aided design ) with an emphasis on analog/RF optimization and test.

•Circuit simulation, parallel CAD algorithms, design and analysis of power and clock distribution networks.

•Interconnect and timing analysis, statistical circuit analysis and optimization.

My Research Assignment

Objectives:• Have basic understanding on CMOS Circuits.

• Use CMOS Circuits to design a circuit system which has basic logic functionalities.

• Analyze the circuit functionality and performance through hand (graphical) analysis.

• Verify the circuit through PSPICE simulation.

My Research AssignmentWhat is CMOS?Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor CMOS is a major class of integrated circuits.

CMOS was also sometimes referred to as complementary-symmetry metal–oxide–semiconductor (or COS-MOS). The words "complementary-symmetry" refer to the fact that the typical digital design style with CMOS uses complementary and symmetrical pairs of p-type and n-type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors for logic functions.

Two important characteristics of CMOS devices are high noise immunity and low static power consumption. Significant power is only drawn when the transistors in the CMOS device are switching between on and off states.

What is the Pspice?

PSpice is a SPICE analog circuit and digital logic simulation software that runs on personal computers, hence the first letter "P" in its name. It is used in electronic design automation. The name is an acronym for Personal Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis. Today it has evolved into an analog mixed signal simulator.
