Welcome to CEG3470!

Posted by Tang Wai Chung

CEG3470 is the major required course for computer engineering majors. The course provides in-depth discussion on various issues in designing and analyzing digital circuits using CMOS technology.

In addition to theory, this course would include training to standard computer design CAD tools like MAGIC and SPICE.

This course homepage contains the supporting materials like lecture notes, tutorial notes, homework, lab handouts. Please try keeping checking for updates!
