Department of Electronics
and Communication Engineering
M. Tech. in VLSI and Embedded
systems
Overview:
The
development of VLSI (Very Large-Scale Integration) systems combines millions of
transistors into a single chip to create complex integrated circuits, which are
used in various applications such as automotive, industrial, and communication
systems. Embedded systems are pervasive in diverse areas, with tremendous
growth in applications and innovation in high-performance networked real-time
embedded systems.
To maintain
growth rates, VLSI technology and embedded systems development organizations
need designers, analysts, developers, manufacturing, test and marketing
engineers, and managers with graduate degrees in VLSI and Embedded
Systems.
The Department
of Electronics and Communication Engineering offers a master's course. M.Tech
in VLSI and Embedded Systems – to train ambitious, innovative and creative
graduates who can take on the role of electronics engineers who can conceive,
design, analyze and develop VLSI and Embedded Systems that meet modern requirements.
As the product
and service based semiconductor industry grows, there are diverse career
opportunities in product development companies such as mobile and consumer
electronics, computing, telecom, networking, computing, automotive, healthcare
and industrial applications.
In this connection, IIITDM kurnool's Department of Electronics and
Communication Engineering aims
to meet the growing need for staffing as engineers in the VLSI and embedded systems field through the M.Tech Program
in VLSI and Embedded Systems.
In this
context, The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering at IIITDM
kurnool would like to add to the growing human resources needs of VLSI and the
embedded system sector as engineers through its M.Tech. programme in VLSI and
Embedded Systems.
During the
program, a theoretical foundation is built through courses such as MOSFET
modeling in VLSI circuits, VLSI digital system design, embedded system design,
analog and mixed-mode design, and electronic packaging and manufacturing. This
practice includes developing skills in front-end and back-end design,
validation, and testing. The program also provides in-depth knowledge and
hands-on skills to develop embedded solutions on various platforms such as
FPGAs, advanced microcontrollers and processors. Students will learn how to
implement embedded real-time systems. Designers gain practical knowledge
through small and large projects in the areas of VLSI and embedded system
design.
