In this paper, the authors discuss the design of an Integrated Circuit (IC) layout for a decoder. The layout was designed by using an open source software namely electric VLSI design system as the ...
The circuit utilizes an Atmel Atmega128 AVR microcontroller to create a small and portable MP3 stick. In the design, a VLSI VS1011b decoder IC is used to decode the MP3 with the memory medium of MP3 ...
The hard IP cores, as hard modules, should be pre-placed or placed inside the soft modules as the first step in VLSI physical design. Normally, automatic placer can not obtain good results because ...
