DESIGNING AN IC LAYOUT FOR BANGLA ALPHABET CHARACTER

Abstract

This thesis discusses the design of an integrated circuit layout for Bangla Alphabet character. Due to concerns of cost, power loss and design complexity the IC based Bangla Alphabet character display become more popular over the other method. Such as microcontroller based method. There are a little work done on the field of IC based Bangla Alphabet character technology. In this thesis we have tried to propose an IC which is capable to make all the Bangla alphabet character. In order to produce the layout, the basic knowledge of fabrication process and IC design rule are expounded. The complete layout of the IC was designed based on its schematic circuit, diagram which consists of NOT gate, 5-input AND gate, 2-input and 3-input and 5-input OR gate. The layout has undergone design rule checker by MICROWIND. Both layout and schematic circuit of the IC were than simulated through MICROWIND and DSCH to ensure they were identical. The both simulated output of IC should be essentially identical and should match the theoretical results. All Bangla vowel and consonant can be characterized through our proposed IC.
