Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

The VLSI group performs cutting-edge research on the emerging challenges in VLSI design. The research of the group covers both design and test of analog, digital, mixed-signal and RF integrated circuits at the system, circuit and layout levels.

The major research areas are:

•  Physical Design CAD
•  Design for Manufacturability
•  Microwave VLSI circuits
•  Integrated antennas
•  High speed testing
•  Automated testing
•  Trusted and secure processor and hardware
•  Reconfigurable embedded systems
•  A/D and D/A Converters
•  Op Amp design
•  High-Speed Communication Circuits
•  Built-in Self Test (BIST) of Analog and Mixed-Signal Circuits
•  Layout techniques for Analog and Mixed-Signal Circuits
