A unit of study in the Bachelor of Engineering (Electronics and Computer Systems)/ Bachelor of Science (Biomedical Sciences), Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic Engineering), Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic Engineering) / Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Engineering (Electronics and Computer Systems), Bachelor of Engineering (Electronics and Computer Systems) / Bachelor of Science (Computer Science and Software Engineering), Bachelor of Engineering (Electronics and Computer Systems)/Bachelor of Commerce. An elective unit of study in the Bachelor of Engineering (Biomedical Engineering), Bachelor of Engineering (Robotics and Mechatronics), Bachelor of Engineering (Telecommunication and Network Engineering) and Bachelor of Engineering (Telecommunication and Network Engineering) / Bachelor of Science (Computer Science and Software Engineering).
This unit aims to develop the required engineering skills to design and implement an integrated circuit design with emphasis on the front-end design skills. The objectives of this unit are to expose students to techniques and design methodology in Integrated Circuit. Students will develop skills in Modeling, simulation, verification, testing and implementation using industry standard EDA tools. Upon satisfactory completion of this subject, students should be able to carry out the design of an integrated circuit from requirement analysis through to implementation. To achieve this, the student will: Understand the design flow of an integrated circuit and its constraints. Understand Hardware Description Modeling, synthesis algorithms and tradeoff between area, power and speed constrains. Become familiar with the implementation strategies, Static and dynamic testing of IC circuit Understand the constraints and Implementation of Built In Self Test Become familiar with a range of design methodologies through their application
Lectures (48 lectures) and Practical Work (18 hours)
Examination (60-70%), tests (0-10%), Practical work (20-30%)
