| Sumario: | This paper presents the methodology used for a digital integrated circuit design that implements the communication protocol known as Serial Peri-pheral Interface, using the Alliance CAD System. The aim of this paper is to show how the work of VLSI design can be done by graduate and under-graduate students with minimal resources and experience. The physical design was sent to be fabricated using the CMOS AMI C5 process that fea-tures 0.5 micrometer in transistor size, sponsored by the MOSIS Educatio-nal Program. Tests were made on a platform that transfers data from inertial sensor measurements to the designed SPI chip, which in turn sends the data back on a parallel bus to a common microcontroller. The results show the efficiency of the employed methodology in VLSI design, as well as the feasibility of ICs manufacturing from school projects that have in-sufficient or no source of funding. |
