The VLSI & CAD lab at the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Guwahati, is equipped with cutting-edge software and hardware for both analog and digital Very-Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) circuit design. Students gain hands-on experience with industry-standard tools like Cadence for analog design, enabling them to complete the full design flow up to GDS II file formation using a 180 nm CMOS process. For digital VLSI circuits, the lab utilizes Xilinx Vivado Suite and Synopsys EDA tools, supported by FPGA development boards like Basys-3, Zed board, and Genesys 2 for rapid prototyping. Undergraduates are trained in the complete digital design process, from gate-level design to on-chip testing, and can develop their own FPGA-based systems using provided PMOD interfaces. The lab also features the ORCAD PCB design bundle for system-level design. Students, both undergraduate and postgraduate, are strongly encouraged to undertake projects using these advanced tools and hardware. This practical approach ensures they become proficient in industry-standard practices for digital and analog VLSI design, testing, and applications, preparing them for professional roles in the field.
