The task of VLSI physical design is to produce the layout of an integrated circuit. New performance requirements are becoming increasingly dominant in today's sub-micron regimes requiring new physical design algorithms. Genetic algorithms have been increasingly successful when applied in VLSI physical design in the last 10 years. Genetic algorithms for VLSI physical design are reviewed in gener...

Very large scale integration (VLSI) circuit comprises of integrated circuit (IC) with transistors in a single chip, widely used in many sophisticated electronic devices. In our paper, we proposed VLSI circuit design by implementing satisfiability problem in Hopfield neural network as circuit verification technique. We restrict our logic construction to 2-Satisfiability (2-SAT) and 3Satisfiabili...

We have developed a method of simplifying physical design for undergraduates enrolled in analog VLSI design. The analog CMOS course is a VLSI design course with laboratory that includes design, fabrication and testing of analog CMOS circuits. A student's design begins with a simple current mirror and ends with different types of sampling circuits such as switched-capacitor and autozero circuits...

This paper discusses the programmable and dedicated approaches for real-time video processing applications. Various VLSI architecture including the design examples of both approaches are reviewed. Finally, discussions of several practical designs in real-time video processing applications are then considered in VLSI architectures to provide significant guidelines to VLSI designers for any furth...
