Embedded Systems SW

Standard cell and memory design

Semester III (2010-2012)

Project Goals and Deliverables
Project Description
Using 90nm SAED libraries, design a 8x8 (64 bit)
memory block by using available library cells.
Custom designer or other tools can be used.
Perform Reads and Writes to this memory and show
the output using Hspice simulation.
