In this course, you will learn the need to high performance IC design and the many challenges you will encounter as a designer to meet the required performance. You will also learn the overview of the ASIC flow modified for high performance IC design. We will cover every module of the design flow from gathering the design spec to taping out the design to the foundry. At the end of the course you will have learnt the following:

• Need for high performance ICs
• Factors that effect performance
• How to overcome challenges to design high performance ICs
• Overview of the Design Flow
• Overview of the ASIC Design Flow
