Abstract :
The authors describe a novel approach in teaching an ASIC design course at the undergraduate level. The emphasis is on the use of different CAD tools as (1) a vehicle to accelerate the student learning of ASIC design, (2) a means to demonstrate the different approaches in design, (3) an instrument to measure some circuit parameters, and (4) an opportunity to prepare the students for their careers
