EC2354 VLSI DESIGN ANNA UNIVERSITY NOV/DEC 2011 PREVIOUS SEMESTER QUESTION PAPER



B.E./B.Tech. DEGREE EXAMINATION, NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2011.
Sixth Semester
Electronics and Communication Engineering
EC 2354 — VLSI DESIGN
(Regulation 2008)
(Common to PTEC 2354 – VLSI Design for B.E. (Part-Time) Fifth Semester
Electronics and Communication Engineering, Regulation 2009)
Time : Three hours                                                                                        Maximum : 100 marks
Answer ALL questions.
PART A — (10 × 2 = 20 marks)
1. Determine whether an NMOS transistor with a threshold voltage of 0.7 V is operating in the saturation region if GS V = 2 V and =DS V 3V.
2. Write down the equation for describing the channel length modulation effect in NMOS transistors.
3. Write the expressions for the logical effort and parasitic delay of n input NOR gate.
4. Why does interconnect increase the circuit delay?
5. Draw a pseudo NMOS inverter.
6. What are the advantages of differential flip flops?
7. State the objective of functionality test.
8. What are the test fixtures required to test a chip?
9. Write the Verilog module for an half adder.
10. What are the delay specifications available in Verilog HDL for modeling a
logic gate?
PART B — (5 × 16 = 80 marks)
11. (a) (i) An NMOS transistor has the following parameters : gate oxide thickness = 10 nm, relative permittivity of gate oxide = 3.9, electron mobility = 520 2 cm /V-sec, threshold voltage = 0.7 V, permittivity of free space = 14 10 85 . 8 − × F/cm and (W/L) = 8. Calculate the drain current when ( GS V = 2 V and = DS V 1.2 V) and ( GS V = 2 V and = DS V 2 V) and also compute the gate oxide capacitance per unit area.
