Abstract

The ASIC education program at the Tampere University of Technology is discussed. The design tools, educational activities, and foundry services are described. Hardware description languages and system-level simulations are adopted from basic design courses to shift the emphasis in education from layout-level descriptions towards ASIC system oriented designs at undergraduate level. Silicon foundry services through FINCHIP, NORCHIP, and EUROCHIP with field programmable gate array structures from Xilinx and Actel are utilized
