Introduction to nMOS IC design: static logic gates, noise margin, transmission gates, factors influencing switching speed, dynamic logic, input protection, output buffers, circuit simulation with SPICE. Laboratory work includes design and layout of a simple nMOS IC that is fabricated and returned for testing. Includes: Experiential Learning Activity Prerequisite(s): ELEC 3500 or ELEC 3908. Lectures three hours a week, laboratory and problem analysis three hours alternate weeks. [0.5 credits]
