Digital Integrated Circuit Design
This course is intended to provide the student with IC design experience. The emphasis is on the IC design process as a whole. The aim is to reach an optimal design through oprimization of a number of variables ranging from the choice of architecture to the details of the IC layout. Typical performance criteria of the design are: throughput, power, signal-to-noise ratio, clock frequency, and gainbandwidth.
Typical constraints will be: die size and minimum feature size.
Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by
applying engineering fundamentals, basic science and mathematics.
Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation and/or simulation,
analyze and interpret data, assess and evaluate findings, and use
statistical analyses and objective engineering judgment to draw
conclusions.Design, model and analyze an electrical, electronic, microwave and
optical system or component for a specific ICT application and
identify the tools required to optimize this design.Design, integrate, and test analog and digital, discrete and
integrated, electronic circuits to realize specific functions, using the
right equipment, and under specific design constraints.
