Coe 415 (VLSI CMOS Design Circuit) Course Integrative Project Report

Semester xxx Project Title: Submitted by Team Members # Name Stud. ID Course Instructor: Dr. M. El Aidy

Abstract

Write an abstract of the contents of this report, citing the following information: the objective of your design project (given the makeup of your team and the aspect of the design application on which you have focused), any specific problems you were presented with to solve, and some summary of the results of your work (without rattling off everything in the report). This is a summary, so as to give the reader of your report a sense of what is contained in your research and engineering effort. Please keep the abstract under 200 words. Also, maintain this formatting when you replace this text with the actual text of your abstract. Usually, the abstract is written last, after the report is put together.

Table of Contents

After you have made the final edits and pagination of your report: Insert -> Index and Tables -> Table of Contents (use default format). Delete this text once you have done.

AUTONUM Introduction

This section should state the objectives, assumptions and desired outcomes of the project. This means the set of system behaviors your specific functionality is targeted to achieve in the model development effort undertaken by your team. Note that, since team sizes are different, I’ll expect more from you in regards to the scope of what you are taking on as opposed to what I’d expect from a team of smaller size.

AUTONUMLGL Statement of Problem

This will be the problem context of the model’s overall functionality that your team has taken on.

AUTONUMLGL Design Objectives

Here you can state any known requirements, some discussion of your interpretation of the objectives.

AUTONUM Functional Description

This section should state the functional description of each element in the design. This will include: (1) input-process-output of each block (stated in detail in sub-sections under Section 2 herein), (2) signal/interface definitions (entities/architectures, functions, procedures, components, etc.), (3) model hierarchy and diagram of what you’ve implemented (attach the details as a figure, if possible).

AUTONUMLGL Entity/Component/Feature Descriptions

Specify each entity or feature with detailed names and descriptions, including figures if available. Use sequential numbering for figures and diagrams, and include them as figures in the report.

AUTONUM Behavioral and RTL Description

This section should describe the architectural detail of each block, module or design element: (1) state machine descriptions, state tables, state equations, or other means of characterizing behavior, (2) timing characteristics, including critical timing or clocking data or constraints, clocking scheme, etc. Describe how behaviors were created and verified.

AUTONUMLGL VHDL Code Description of Your Design #1

Provide detailed description and comments on your VHDL code for each design component.

AUTONUMLGL Timing Description #2

Include timing analysis, constraints, and relevant timing diagrams.

AUTONUMLGL Other Behaviors or Constraints #3

Describe other relevant behavioral properties or constraints imposed on your design.

AUTONUM Design Verification of System Blocks

This section should describe your design verification strategy, including test scenarios, data sets, expected results, and observations. Use tables to organize test cases: (1) test name/number, (2) functionality tested, (3) test data, (4) expected result, (5) actual observations. Document your verification architecture and the functions of each unit in your test bench.

AUTONUMLGL Verification Test Objectives

Explain your objectives in verifying your design, and how your test bench was created to meet these objectives.

AUTONUMLGL Test Bench Architecture and Functionality

Describe the structure and operation of your test bench, including block diagrams, modules, and communication between test bench and device under test (DUT).

AUTONUMLGL Test Bench Input & Output

Detail the input data sets and expected outputs for each test case, including signals monitored and criteria for success.

AUTONUMLGL Simulation Runs

Summarize simulation efforts, number of runs, interpretation of waveforms, issues encountered, and solutions applied.

AUTONUM Physical Layout of your System

Discuss physical layout implementation, design rule checks (DRC), and extraction procedures, including parasitic extraction for more accurate simulation.

AUTONUMLGL DRC

Perform and document Design Rule Check to verify layout compliance.

AUTONUMLGL Extraction

Extract electrical parameters to ensure correctness of layout and to prepare for post-layout simulation.

AUTONUM Simulation of Your Layout

Use circuit simulators such as Hspice, PSPICE, or equivalent for post-layout simulation, employing extracted parameters to analyze circuit performance.

AUTONUM Summary and Conclusions

Summarize your project accomplishments, emphasizing key points, relevance, and significance of your work for the course and application; highlight challenges overcome and insights gained.

AUTONUM References

Provide properly formatted citations of all references used in your project, including texts, manuals, articles, and other sources.

Appendix A – VHDL Model Source Code

Insert your VHDL model source code here, formatted for readability, with comments, indentation, and proper grouping.

Appendix B – VHDL Test Bench Source Code

Insert your test bench code, formatted for clarity and ease of understanding.

Appendix C – Simulation Waveform Output

Include relevant waveform captures, labeling signals, test cases, and outcomes, with explanations of the observed results and any discrepancies noted.
