DVD - Lecture 3c: Library Definition

Bar-Ilan University 83-612: Digital VLSI Design
This is Lecture 3 of the Digital VLSI Design course at Bar-Ilan University. In this course, I cover the basics of Chip Implementation, from designing the logic (RTL) to providing a layout ready for fabrication (GDS).

Lecture 3 is the first of two part overview of logic synthesis. The first lecture focuses on Standard Cell Libraries, which are an integral part of the synthesis process.

Lecture 3c presents library definitions and introduces the concept of a standard cell library.
