Nilesh P. Bobade, Rajashree H. Umbarkar, Priyanka U. Badhe, Shruti V. Kohale . Design and Performance of CMOS Circuits in MICROWIND. International Conference on Emerging Frontiers in Technology for Rural Area (EFITRA-2012). EFITRA, 4 (April 2012), 9-14.
This paper describes the experience in teaching integrated circuit design using an educational tool called Microwind through a Project-Based Learning approach. The demand and popularity of portable electronics is driving designers to strive for small silicon area, higher speeds, low power dissipation and reliability. Our work presents the design and performance of 8-bit Ripple Carry Adder using CMOS, transmission gates and pass transistor circuits. The schematic design is further converted into prefabrication layout. Simulation of the schematic and layout realizations of the adder is performed and results are discussed. Such tool is highly applicable in the design approaches towards the rural development.
