Short Term Course on

Analog VLSI Design

 

October 20 – November 01, 2003

 

Introduction

 

CEP of IIT Bombay is announcing a 10-day course in the area VLSI Design.  Microelectronics faculty of Electrical Engineering Department along with a faculty from IISc Bangalore, will be discussing basic design issues in VLSI Analog design. The course will have 4 hours of class work every day morning followed by design laboratory in the afternoon.  To make the course more practical oriented, we are inviting CADENCE design tool company faculty to help us do this lab with their design tools.

 

Course fee for this 10 day training will be Rs.20,000/- per student. This includes Lunches/Tea and all the course material for ten days.  So lets see Why in this digital era we are looking for Analog designs.

 

Join the Analog/ RF Design Wave!

 

In the next 5 years, nearly 75% of System-on-chip (SOC) devices will contain substantial analog ircuitry.  ccording to industry analyst IBS Corporation, mixed-signal SoCs accounted for approximately 20 percent of worldwide SoCs in 2001.  This represents a doubling in just three years.  Further, the percentage is expected to rise to nearly 75 percent over the next five years.  We are witnessing this revolution in <?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = ST1 />India also with surging number of companies getting involved in Analog/RF Designs, leading to demand and supply gap for skilled Analog/RF designers.

 

This 10-day training will be conducted at IIT Mumbai and is focused on the needs of fresh engineers, who intend to work in Analog/RF design.  Considering the serious intent of this workshop and to maintain strict quality, IIT Mumbai would conduct this training starting Oct 20,2003 for a batch of 20 corporate sponsored participants only.  During the training, Professors AN Chandorkar and Dinesh Sharma, along with their respective teams from the Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Mumbai, will be taking 4 hours of lecture sessions.  Cadence faculty also will be conducting 2.5 hours of Lab sessions everyday.  Since there are limited seats the registration would be on first-cum-first serve basis.  Please send your registration request on or before Oct 1, 2003.  The guest house accommodation is on twin sharing basis and would cost ~ Rs 400/ per head per day and would include lodging, Bed tea, breakfast and Dinner.
