CRAVE - Centre for Research in Analogue & VLSI Microsystem dEsing
Crave is involved in the design and implementation of Analogue, Digital, RF and Mixed-signal VLSI circuits & systems. Applications in wireless and wire-line communication as well as signal processing are being developed. Micro and nano-scale semiconductor process technologies ranging from 0.35µm to 90nm CMOS process technologies are being investegated for various VLSI System-On-Chip Implementations. Micro-fluidic micro-chip devices such as micro-actuators, micro-pumps & micro-channels for applications in diverse fields such as Biotechnology, DNA analysis and Food Technology are also being investigated. VLSI implementation of neural networks, fuzzy logic and specialised arithmetic processors & algorithms are also part of the centres activities
