Project #3 of EE577A (VLSI System Design) – Advisor: Prof. Pierluigi Nuzzo, University of Southern California This project is to simulate the performance of FinFET based devices like NAND, NOR gates with HSpice in Cadence Virtuoso. Here is the lab report:

Project #2 of EE577A (VLSI System Design) – Advisor: Prof. Pierluigi Nuzzo, University of Southern California This project is to design a 1024-bit SRAM in both schematics and layout level. And the design need to match the criteria of clock cycle as 2ns. Here is the lab report:

Final Project of EE582 (CMOS/Nano Neuromorphic Circuits) – Advisor: Prof. Alice Cline Parker, University of Southern California In this project, we have to build an electronic neuron or a small neural network that can recognizes a “+” in a 3×3 grid of input pixels. Only when the cross shape is given, the circuit will give a…

Project #2,3 of EE582 (CMOS/Nano Neuromorphic Circuits) – Advisor: Prof. Alice Cline Parker, University of Southern California This project is to design the circuits that can simulate the performance of SOMA and synapse in neurons. For SOMA, when a continuous input voltage signal is provided, when its value is beyond the threshold voltage, a pulse will…
