ü Some homework problems require HSpice simulations

ü SUN workstations running HSpice in MSEE 186

ü Your accounts to access the workstations and HSpice will be enabled during the first two weeks of the semester, and will be expired two weeks after the last day of the semester

Ø If you want to keep your HSpice files after the semester, you need to move or copy your files to your own storage space

ü Please download Avant HSpice manual from the class website

Ø This class assumes that the registered students have basic knowledge on UNIX commands

Ø In case you are not familiar with basic UNIX commands, please download a manual and get familiar with the commands before the first homework assignment

ü The simulation uses TSMC 0.25um model files

Ø Please download the model files through the link posted on the course website

Course Outcomes (ABET):

A student who successfully fulfills the course requirements will have demonstrated:

ü A basic knowledge of CMOS IC processing and layout

ü An understanding of CMOS inverter operation, both static and dynamic

ü An understanding of CMOS combinational logic circuit design and analysis

ü An understanding of basic Emitter-Coupled Logic (ECL) design and analysis

ü An understanding of simple BiCMOS design and analysis

ü An understanding of basic CMOS sequential logic analysis

ü An ability to design, layout, and analyze a simple CMOS circuit

Grading Policy

ü Absolute and relative scale:

Ø When the average is lower than 65; 25% A, 40%B, 25% C, 10% D

Ø When the average is over 65; 35% A, 40% B, 20% C, 5% D

Ø When the average is over 75; 40% A, 40% B, 20% C

ü 2 mid-terms each accounting for 25% of the grade (25% X 2 = 50%)

ü Final exam accounts for 25% of the grade

ü Homework assignments account for 25% of the grade

ü Homework submission: Homework must be submitted by email to jungb@purdue.edu as a pdf file. The subject of your email should be;

Ø ECE456-Homework#-$-xxxxx (This should be the file name too.)

Ø Where # is the assignment number, $ is your first name initial, and xxxxx is your last name.

Ø If your homework is handwritten, you may contact Wanda Dalinger (MSEE 230) or Diana Dexter (MSEE 264) to help you scan your homework, convert it to a PDF file, and email it to me.

Ø Late assignments will NOT be accepted. You may request extension for homework assignment or make-up exam for documented emergencies (e.g. hospitalization, death of family member, etc.) It has to be requested only BEFORE its due date.
