Setup Time is the minimum time data must remain stable before the active clock edge.
Hold Time is the minimum time data must remain stable after the active clock edge.
Violating either can cause metastability and incorrect circuit operation. These are critical concepts in Static Timing Analysis (STA).

The ASIC design flow typically includes:

• Specification

• RTL Design (Verilog/VHDL)

• Functional Verification

• Logic Synthesis

• Static Timing Analysis (STA)

• Physical Design (Place & Route)

• DRC/LVS Verification

• Tape-Out and Fabrication

This flow converts a design concept into a manufacturable integrated circuit.

Clock skew is the difference in arrival time of the same clock signal at different flip-flops. Excessive clock skew can cause setup and hold violations, leading to timing failures. Physical design engineers work to minimize clock skew using Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS).

The course is ideal for ECE, EEE, E&I, Electrical, and Electronics graduates, engineering students, and working professionals looking to enter the VLSI industry.

The training covers Digital Electronics, Verilog HDL, RTL Design, ASIC Design Flow, Static Timing Analysis (STA), Physical Design, Verification, and semiconductor fundamentals.
