1. Let’s create a Library Go to Explorer (beside the Components view); you will find LIBRARIES name as noname File –> Save Library As Go to the location where you want to save your design (eg: $PATH/Electric/Designs) Name the design (library…
Starting and Setting-up Electric
1. Start Electric: You will see the following window. 2. Towards the bottom of the window, you will find an Electric Messages Window where you can find different messages throughout any design. 3. You can change the background color of the window…
Getting Started with Electric
Installation Steps: Ensure Java is installed and updated on your system Download and save electric-9.07.jar to your computer (It is a java archived file) – You just have to double-click this .jar file and there you go. If java is…
ASIC Physical Design Flow
The main steps in ASIC physical design flow are: Design Netlist (after Synthesis) Floorplanning Partitioning Placement Clock-Tree Synthesis (CTS) Routing Physical Verification GDS II Generation These steps are just the basic. A more detailed design flow is presented in the…

Following list updates the deadlines of the conferences in the domain of VLSI and Computer Architecture to be held in India for the year 2018-19. You can find the list of conferences by clicking here. 32nd International Conference on VLSI Design…
VLSI and Computer Architecture Conferences in India
The following list contains the VLSI and Computer Architecture conferences which are held in India every year. The table holds the list of conferences which is at least 3 years old. This list is meant to hold the conferences whose…
ESD Models and their comparison – ESD Part 2
In the part-1 of ESD we learnt through of ESD testing and its importance. ICs are susceptible to ESD event as they consist of components that are very sensitive to excess current and voltage. ESD even can occur at any…
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) – VLSI Circuit’s Prospective
Electro Static Discharge (ESD) is sudden flow of static electricity between two electrically charged objects for a very short duration of time. The study of ESD phenomenon and its protection circuits are more relevant with each technology nodes as smaller…
Reliability vs. Availability in Fault Tolerance
We have learnt the following definitions of Reliability and Availability from the Fault Tolerance Measures post: Reliability, R(t): Probability that the system has been up continuously during the whole interval [0,t], given it was up at time 0. This measure is suitable…
Kernel Modules, Major Number and Minor Number
Whenever you want to add something to the kernel code, there are two options – either add your code to the kernel code and compile/build the entire kernel image or compile your code separately and add it to the kernel…
