Overview

Electronics and Communication Engineering is an engineering discipline involving the design, development, manufacture, and deployment of Electronics and Communication systems. It deals with electronic devices, circuits, communication equipment like transmitter, receiver, integrated circuits (IC), analog and digital transmission and reception of data, voice and video, microprocessors, satellite communication, microwave engineering, antennae, and wave progression. Signal and Image processing, Communication Technologies, Embedded Systems, and VLSI Systems are some of the specialized areas available in electronics for further study.

Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) system design is the process of creating complex integrated circuits by combining a million/billion number of transistors into a single chip. This programme aims to prepare the students to design analog and digital integrated circuits using custom and semi-custom design flow.

Worldwide, for the past five decades, the semiconductor industry has distinguished itself by the rapid pace of improvement in its products. The improvement of integration level, cost, speed, power, compactness, and functionality of the integrated circuits leads to significant improvement in economic productivity and overall quality of life through the proliferation of computers, communication, and industrial and consumer electronics. The improvement and complexity of VLSI system can be achieved by the revolution of CMOS transistors, miniaturization of transistors, VLSI design methodology, EDA tool support, fabrication support, new design idea, and innovative technology which are active research areas in VLSI system design.

The ICs/Micro Processor/Micro-Controller/ chips developed and fabricated using VLSI technology become the heart of embedded systems. Embedded systems have become pervasive across various domains such as automotive, industrial, and communication systems leading to tremendous growth in the application and innovation of networked and high-performance real-time embedded systems.

To sustain the growth rate, the organizations involved in VLSI technology and Embedded Systems development are in need of designers, analysts, developers, manufacturing, testing, and marketing engineers as well as managers with a postgraduate degree in VLSI Design and Embedded System sector.

The School of Electronics and Communication Engineering at REVA UNIVERSITY offers M.Tech. in VLSI and Embedded Systems –a postgraduate programme to create motivated, innovative, creative, and thinking graduates to fill the roles of Electronic Engineers who can conceptualize, design, analyze and develop VLSI and Embedded systems to meet the modern day requirements.

The number of product and service-based semiconductor industry is growing, thus various career opportunities exist in product development companies including mobile and consumer electronics, computing, telecommunications, networking, data processing, automotive, healthcare, and industrial applications.

In this context, The School of Electronics and Communication Engineering at REVA UNIVERSITY would like to add to the growing human resources needs of VLSI and the embedded system sector as engineers through its M.Tech. programme in VLSI and Embedded Systems.

During the programme, the theoretical foundation is built through courses like Digital VLSI design, High-speed VLSI design, Low power VLSI Design, Analog, and mixed mode design, and system on chip design. The practice includes skill development in both Front end and Back end designs, verification, and testing. The programme also offers strong knowledge and practical skills in developing embedded solutions on varied platforms such as FPGA, advanced microcontrollers, and processors. Students learn to implement real-time embedded systems. The designers gain practical knowledge through mini and major projects in both VLSI and Embedded system design domains.
