Write a VLSI program that implements a toll booth controller?
What are the different ways in which antenna violation can be prevented?
What is the function of chain reordering?
What types of high speed CMOS circuits have you designed?
What happens if we delay the enabling of Clock signal?
Explain what is the depletion region?
Design an 8 is to 3 encoder using 4 is to encoder?
In a SRAM layout, which metal layers would you prefer for Word Lines and Bit Lines? Why?
Implement a 2 I/P and gate using Tran gates?
How do you size NMOS and PMOS transistors to increase the threshold voltage?
what is SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier)?
You have three adjacent parallel metal lines. Two out of phase signals pass through the outer two metal lines. Draw the waveforms in the centre metal line due to interference. Now, draw the signals if the signals in outer metal lines are in phase with each other
Give various factors on which threshold voltage depends.
