The VLSI & DSP Laboratory in the Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) program is established to provide students with comprehensive practical knowledge in the fields of Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) and Digital Signal Processing (DSP). The primary objective of this laboratory is to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and real-time implementation of digital systems and signal processing algorithms. In the VLSI segment, students learn to design, model, simulate, and verify digital circuits using hardware description languages (HDLs) such as VHDL and Verilog, and industry-standard tools like Xilinx ISE, Vivado, and ModelSim. This helps them understand the design flow of digital integrated circuits, from RTL coding to synthesis and simulation. In the DSP segment, students gain hands-on experience in implementing signal processing techniques such as Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Finite and Infinite Impulse Response (FIR/IIR) filters, and convolution, using both MATLAB and DSP processors like the TMS320C67xx series. The lab is designed to enhance problem-solving skills in the areas of real-time signal analysis, digital filter design, and embedded DSP programming. By integrating both VLSI and DSP domains, the lab fosters an interdisciplinary understanding of how hardware and algorithms interact in modern digital systems. It prepares students for careers in semiconductor industries, embedded systems, communication technologies, and advanced computing platforms where knowledge of both VLSI design and DSP implementation is crucial.
