Anotation:

Introduction to basic building blocks, architecture and design methodologies of advanced VLSI systems. Structure and design of digital and analogue integrated circuit subsystems. Integrated system description and synthesis using cell libraries and IP cores. Synchronization, power consumption and parasitics reduction issues. Testing and reliability of integrated systems. In seminars and labs, the hardware description language VHDL will be explained and used for practical design, synthesis and testing of a system on chip.
