COM SCI 258H · CS 258HAnalysis and Design of High-Speed VLSI Interconnects
Computer Science · 4 units · Graduate courses (200-299)
Detailed study of various problems in analysis and design of high-speed VLSI interconnects at both integrated circuit (IC) and packing levels, including interconnect capacitance and resistance, lossless and lossy transmission lines, cross-talk and power distribution noise, delay models and power dissipation models, interconnect topology and geometry optimization, and clocking for high-speed systems.
Letter grading.
