VLSI
Very-large-Scale Integration is a process that means to create Integrated Circuits by combining thousands of transistor-based circuits into a single chip. Main challenges in VLSI includes Speed, Area, Power. Applications of VLSI includes in DSP, Digital Communication, Cryptography, Consumer Electronics, Automobiles, Satellite Applications, Robotics, and Health industry, consumer electronics, medical electronics.
