Today, VLSI devices have made a name for themselves everywhere. Whether it is in cars, mobile phones or medical devices, they are everywhere around us. It is a revolutionary science that has been rapidly evolving in the last few decades. Most jobs that have a background in electronics and coding require VLSI knowledge to master. For instance, everything from electronic component and circuit design to verification require VLSI know-how. Also, due to recent advancements in product innovation, and process geometries, the field of VLSI is witnessing a revival. Therefore, this is a very exciting field that young engineers should analyse and study. To help you get started, here’s a look at some of the best Certified VLSI training courses out there.

Students from Electrical Engineering or Computer Science Engineering must have encountered a small chip while doing experiments in the lab. This small chip containing so many transistors is able to perform a lot of functions with much ease. But what exactly does this chip do? Can studying in-depth about a small chip like this be any way useful? These are some questions that this article aims at answering. A process that revolves around designing of this very chip, around the functioning of this chip which is extremely popular among students to take up as a career, VLSI technology is what is going to be discussed in this article. Keeping in mind VLSI’s exponential growth, it is now one of the most recommended studies to take up. 

Let’s now explore more about this amazing technology and learn some useful information on how we can take it up as our future career. In the later section of this article, a list of online courses on VLSI is also discussed. Do not forget to take a look at them!

Modern problems need modern solutions. Indeed, it has been a true fact ever since the invention of technology in this world. Imagine our world still stuck with oversized computers and a brick-sized mobile phone. You can not run to your office with a presentation on your hand that you completed at the last minute. You can not watch Netflix or surf through the internet leisurely sitting on your comfy couch. [I wouldn't be able to take notes leisurely on my mobile phone to jot down this article :^)] Well, Touchwood! Thanks to our modern minds! Our lives have been made a lot easier with their invention Integrated Circuit. VLSI is one of the useful technologies in the field which is demanding and prioritized to learn when it comes to the electronics background. Let us hop on to the article to know about VLSI its applications, how you can learn VLSI and the latest VLSI final year project ideas for ECE students.

Summary

Hey there everyone! I know that the world has really paused for quite a time and so, if you are reading this article, probably most of who are engineers, then suppose you’ll have plans of spending this time at home for a valuable cause! The cause being, improving your knowledge of course! As an engineer, that’s what is expected from you, there shouldn’t be a thing which an engineer should not be having at least a basic idea of!

So, as we talk about having an idea on things, let us talk about technology, which is like a guiding angel for us in the future, In-fact even nowadays. There is almost nothing in the world which runs without the use of any electronic device, right from small mobile to a large missile, technology is literally involved in everything. And while we talk about electronic devices, don’t you think that as engineers, no matter which branch, it is important for us to know what it takes to manufacture an electronic device right from the scratch? Like the processes involved in preparing things, which helps us simplify our tasks and improve our performance by a great deal. 

Very Large-Scale Integration(VLSI) is one such process, which simplifies our task by combining several millions of circuits into one, thus helping us to prepare many devices which occupy less space, which are easily portable and of course, highly advanced in their functioning! So, this article deals with VLSI, its uses, its designing and finally, some amazing VLSI design projects which you can obtain from some famous sites. So, let’s proceed!

Summary

Have you seen the circuits designed in the 1990s? Circuits at that time used to be very bulky. Now with advancements in the Integrated circuits industry gave us the same and even better performance in a smaller space. The best example is the first computer in history which took a whole room space whereas now a computer is the size of your palm and is extremely faster too.

This technology implemented to design or create an integrated circuit which takes less space and is far more efficient by using more than a thousand transistors in combination is called as VLSI. The term VLSI is abbreviated as “Very large scale integration”. VLSI technology was started in the 1970s. To give you an idea of where VLSI technology we are giving you the example of the latest Intel chips which contains around a few billion transistors. If you know VLSI design process you can opt for well-paid jobs in the semiconductor industry with recruiters like Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, and Apple etc.

This article briefs you what is VLSI design and some latest VLSI projects for engineering students.

Summary

Long gone are the days wherein computers are as large as rooms with large vacuum tubes. They no longer take up an entire room or make loud humming noises. All these operations have scaled-down in size and multiplied in application. Nowadays, we see products that occupy very little space but offer abundant functionality. Modern-day machines get smaller in size and larger in an application, every single day. So, what pushed this technology forward by such a large extent? The art of computing brought in a wave of electronic miniaturization thanks to the semiconductor transistor. One of the most important fields that work closely with this is VLSI technology. If you are a budding EEE engineer, then VLSI projects are something you need to invest time and energy in. Here’s a look at some great VLSI IEEE projects to help you get started on your journey
