1. About the Term Project
This project is an individual study on Layout design using software tools Magic and LTSpice. Each student
should be familiar with the usage of software tools Magic and LTSpice.
2. Each student is suggested to do project as follows
2.1. Layout design of one equation
1) The equation is
Y = (AB + C)DE + F
Figure 1. Physical Layout of MUX4:1 Module.
2.2. On the submission deadline April 20,
1) The design should be finished using Magic and LTSpice. You should use Euler path to realize the optimal
design. Please compress all the design files, including .mag, .ext, .spice, and .sp, into one .zip file.
2) The compressed design file is required to be submitted to Entry “Project design package” on the Blackboard.
3) The electronic version report is required to submit to the Entry “Project report” on the Blackboard.
4) You should submit one hard copy Project Report in the class on April 21.
3. Grading for the Term Project
3.1. Grade
A professionally documented report should be technically informative; highly written (it must be typed), including Abstract, Introduction, a Detailed Analysis of the subject area, Conclusions, References (in IEEE format), and
possible Future Work to be done in that area. This report should contain more than 1,000 words, about 5 pages
with single-space and single column. The Font size of text body is 11.
1) The citation of the figures and references should be mentioned in the content. The reference should follow
the IEEE format.
2) The required pages include all the content. You can increase the page number if you think it is necessary
to explain your idea in detail.
3) The similarity of your report should not be over 10%. This is one of the evaluation standards.
4) Originality (Similarity5 credits.
2) Format (Figure, Table, Equation, Font Size): The typo will be reduced by >5 credits.
3) Originality (similarity): The report should not have high similarity to other papers.
4. Phases
1)
2)
3)
4)
Phase 1: usage of Magic: design of inverter
Phase 2: usage of LTSpice: simulation of inverter
Phase 3: design of one equation
Phase 4: final evaluation

6. IEEE References
6.1. References - Paper
A numbered list of references must be provided at the end of the paper. The list should be arranged in the order of
citation in text, not in alphabetical order. List only one reference per reference number.
Each reference number should be enclosed by square brackets. In text, citations of references may be given simply as “in [1] . . . ”, rather than as “in reference [1] . . . ”. Similarly, it is not necessary to mention the authors of a
reference unless the mention is relevant to the text. It is almost never useful to give dates of references in text.
These will usually be deleted by Staff Editors if included.
2
Footnotes or other words and phrases that are not part of the reference format do not belong on the reference list.
Phrases such as “For example,” should not introduce references in thelist, but should instead be given in parentheses in text, followed by the reference number, i.e., “For example, see [5].”
Sample correct formats for various types of references are as follows.

6.2. E. References—Electronic Sources
The guidelines for citing electronic information as offered below are a modified illustration of the adaptation by
the International Standards Organization (ISO) documentation system and the American Psychological Association (APA) style. Three pieces of information are required to complete each reference: 1) protocol or service; 2)
location where the item is to be found; and 3) item to be retrieved. It is not necessary to repeat the protocol (i.e., http) in
Web addresses after “Available” since that is stated in the URL.
