Preamble The major driving force behind the VLSI technology are the advancements in process technology, progress in high density coupled with an innovation of faster and energy efficient devices. As device dimensions shrink, to achieve high integration, the supply and the threshold voltage of the device must be scaled accordingly. However, this increases the power dissipation exponentially. This exponential increase in power dissipation is not a desirable characteristic and hence there is a need for the development of low power circuit techniques to keep on with the progress of device dimension scaling. Due to the rapid progress of industry in scaling of CMOS technology towards nano-scale regimes, the VLSI teaching methodology at colleges need to be constantly updated to reflect these rapid industry developments. This STC will focus not only on the emerging trends in low power VLSI design for communication but also aims to bridge the gap between analog and RF VLSI circuits. The topics to be covered are wide but not restricted to:       Low Power Design Techniques for future Mobile Systems CMOS Based RF VLSI Design SoI for Digital CMOS VLSI Design CAD for VLSI VLSI Signal Processing for Communication Ultra Low Power Analog Integrated Circuits Eligibility Faculty Members belonging to ECE/EEE/EIE/CSE/IT of AICTE approved institutions/polytechnics and industry professionals are eligible to attend the STC. Admission will be offered subject to the availability based on QIP course norms. The number of seats is limited to 30. Engineers from industries have to pay a course fee of Rs. 5,000/- and they must meet the TA and DA from their own organizations. Registration The applicants can submit their duly filled in registration form in the given format. The demand draft (for participants from industry) should be drawn in favour of “The Principal, Pondicherry Engineering College” payable at Puducherry. Registration Form can be downloaded from the Institute website. Selected candidates will be informed through E-mail and college website. Candidates will be paid Sleeper Class TA and DA as per QIP norms.

The College was started in the academic Short year 1985-86 under the Term seventhCourse five year plan. Ever since its inception, the college has registered speedy progress and it now offers eight undergraduate courses, eleven post on graduate courses and Ph.D programmers in all branches of Engineering and basic Sciences. The College is spread EMERGING IN infrastructure, VLSI FOR well across 210 acres andTRENDS has excellent equipped laboratories and highly qualified faculty COMMUNICATION members. The college has signed several MoUs with leading international/national institutions/organizations of 02 involved – 06, 2015 eminence and March is actively in various research projects. The college is situated at Pillaichavady, about 12 Km from Pondicherry town and about 150 Km from Chennai along the scenic East Coast Road (ECR) on the shores of the Bay of Bengal. The lush green campus of great scenic beauty and picturesque environment forms an excellent setting for the pursuit of studies in Engineering, Science and Technology.
