VLSI-Lab

Course content

The Chip-Design-Lab is a practical laboratory for the design of integrated digital circuits. In this laboratory, students design digital circuits using a RISC-V microcontroller with peripheral modules. During the different phases of the lab, the students design, specify, implement and verify digital circuits with hardware description languages, industrial EDA tools, System-C testbenches and hardware test setups.

The qualification goals taught in this laboratory are successful project work in the field of digital circuit design from the specification to the in-circuit test of the designed circuit. The students gain knowledge about project planning, development work and teamwork. At the same time, students acquire specialized knowledge in their own work with used tools and hardware description languages. The goal is the successful and self-developed completion of the project and the exchange of the knowledge gained in teamwork.
