Department
of Electronics and Communication Engineering has
been offering post Graduate program (Master of
Technology) in VLSI and Embedded Systems Design (VLSI-ESD) since 2011 for aspiring UG students to fulfill
their desire of acquiring higher education.VLSI &
Embedded Systems (VLSI-ESD) course is designed
to impart knowledge on advanced topics in
VLSI and Embedded Systems Design. The course gives
an overview of Very Large Scale Integrated
Circuits and Embedded Systems in the present
scenario. It also gives an overview about the
usage of hardware languages in design and
implementation. The course covers wide range of
computer-based tools that assist engineers in
their design activities. It involves both
software and special-purpose hardware. The
course provides students with a solid
scientific/technical background and research
capabilities in the design, development and
manufacture of electronic devices and systems
used in a wide spectrum of applications. From
household appliances to sophisticated satellite
communication, from electronic ignition to
neural networks and signal processing chips, it
integrates academic discipline with
project-based engineering applications,
classroom learning theory with real world
experiences. The curriculum of this course is in
pace with the needs of present technological
developments and industry. The programme is
conducted by well qualified learned faculty as
well as experts invited from reputed
institutions and
industries.
Objectives
To give students
greater breadth and depth of technical knowledge
in the areas of VLSI and
Embedded Systems
Design.
To synthesize and apply the concepts learnt.
To provide experience in team-based
engineering VLSI design
projects.
The emphasis is on mathematical
modelling and the application of quantitative
techniques associated with design, optimization,
detection, estimation, probability and
statistical VLSI signal processing to the design
and operation of the embedded
systems.
Project for Assignment Areas
Students
can work for their Major Projects in the areas
of Signal Processing, DSP, Signal
Classification, Image processing and VLSI.
Various software tools in the area of DSP,
VHDL/VERILOG are being used extensively by the
students for their Major Projects. Students can
design any electronic hardware using
VHDL/VERILOG and can impellent FPGA hardware and
validate for proper functioning with functional
and timing simulation. The students are
motivated to present papers in conferences and
journals based on their projects. Students are
insisted to refer IEEE papers and choose the
problems for their M.Tech
projects.
Laboratory Facilities
A
full pledged DSP laboratory with 30 user
licensed MATLAB with DSP Hardware TMS kits and
Electronic Computer Aided Design Laboratory with
XLINX VHDL/VERILOG tools with SPARTAN FPGA and
CPLD hardware design kits are available. The
ECAD laboratory also has 50 user back end VLSI
tool using which students can design integrated
circuit chip layouts by performing DRC and
timing Synthesis. The facilities are extensively
used by the students during their academic
schedule. Full access to internet and web based
resources like e-journals are also available to
the students.
