This course brings circuit and system level views on design on the same platform. The course starts with basic device understanding and then deals with complex digital circuits keeping in mind the current trend in technology. The course follows a design perspective, starts from basic specifications and ends with system level blocks. Eight Assignments are provided which will add/help in understanding the course in a better manner both at conceptual as well as hands-on level.
