The Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) technology has revolutionized the way we live by allowing a wide range of cutting-edge systems and gadgets. We can create systems using a lot more transistors on a single IC because to this integration. EDA tools and complicated hardware components like field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) enable the creation of special-purpose systems that outperform general-purpose computers in terms of efficiency. Gordon Moore, a pioneer in the field, projected that the number of transistors that could be produced on a chip would increase exponentially in the 1960s. He created the now-famous Moore's Law. The final forecast made by Moore was that the number of transistors will double every 18 months. The number of transistors per chip has grown about every year over the past thirty years. The increasing complexity of integrated circuits is well shown by the Intel microprocessors.

The bread board method was used to design integrated circuits prior to the development of VLSI technology. In the bread board method, the system is assembled on a breadboard utilising the available digital ICs. The system is then evaluated to see if it produces the desired outcomes, and a prototype is created. If the system is successful, it is sent for a silicon wafer; if an error occurs, the entire silicon wafer becomes waste, and the designer must rethink the entire system. As a result, it took several years to build a whole digital system on a single chip, but now that VLSI technology has been developed, both the time to market and the cost of designing digital ICs have decreased. This is made possible by the programmable hardware devices and EDA tools that are readily available today.

Why VLSI projects are important?

The need for VLSI skilled workers is increasing along with the design and manufacturing sectors' expansion. If you want to start a career in the semiconductor sector, you should be well-versed in the types of employment and career paths available in the VLSI industry. 

Therefore, more expertise and knowledge in VLSI can be gained through the creation of custom VLSI projects of your own choice. VLSI projects are usually significant at the engineering level and are particularly helpful for students studying ECE and EEE. The top VLSI based projects you might start working on are covered in this blog.

Few VLSI Final Year Projects

VLSI based projects are normally done by both UG students and PG students during their final year. Hence the top VLSI project ideas for both the UG and PG students are given in the subsequent section through the list of VLSI final year projects done by us. But before that let’s look onto the brief descriptions and explanations about the few VLSI final year projects.

Improved High Speed or Low Complexity Memristor-based Content Addressable Memory (MCAM) Cell

In this study, a brand-new method for non-volatile Memristor-based Content Addressable Memory MCAM cells is suggested. It combines Memristor with CMOS processing technology to provide high-speed read/write operations at high packing densities and low power dissipation. The suggested cell's memory cell consists of just two memristors, and the CMOS controlling circuitry employs latching to shorten the writing time.

Implementation of FPGA signed multiplier using different adders

This project implements a signed multiplier using several adders. The fundamental circuits used in many applications are multipliers. As unsigned multipliers restrict the use of signed multiplication, a signed multiplier is designed in this case. Adders are used throughout the reduction process to produce the finished product. Different adders, including CLA, CSA, BKA, and HCA, are used, and multiplies produced with these adders are compared.

Design of Approximate Multiplier less DCT with CSD Encoding for Image Processing

In this study, an approximate canonical signed digit (CSD) encoding for discrete cosine transformations (DCT) with image processing is presented. In constant multiplication, two approximation techniques for CSD encoding are suggested. Utilizing the association between neighbouring pixels in the picture data and these two coding methods, a rough DCT architecture is provided.

A New Energy-Efficient and High Throughput Two-Phase Multi-Bit per Cycle Ring Oscillator-Based True Random Number Generator

To reduce the amount of power lost to unnecessary oscillations, a new lightweight TRNG design is suggested in this research. In order to boost throughput, random bits are extracted from both phases of the slow ROs, and the fast RO is only activated during the brief period of time between two slow ROs that are symmetrical in design.

A Three-Stage Comparator and Its Modified Version With Fast Speed and Low Kickback

The three-stage comparator in this study features an additional amplification step in comparison to the conventional two-stage comparators, increasing the voltage gain and speed. The three-stage comparator allows for the use of nMOS input pairs in both the regeneration stage and the amplification stage, further enhancing speed. This is in contrast to the conventional two-stage structure, which employs pMOS input pairs in the regeneration stage.
