Workshop on Embedded & VLSI

Very-large-scale integration (VLSI) is the process of creating an integrated circuit (IC) by combining hundreds of thousands of transistors or devices into a single chip. VLSI began in the 1970s when complex semiconductor and communication technologies were being developed. The microprocessor is a VLSI device. This Workshop majorly focus on VLSI Design. VLSI and Embedded Systems Design Techniques are the main pillar of most of the present research, industrial and commercial activities in Electronics Engineering. This training program focuses on specific design techniques using VLSI Design Tools & Software. It also focuses on embedded system techniques such as Microcontroller Programming.
