Integrated circuit design

What it covers

The unit aims to develop a fundamental understanding of the performance, specification and fabrication of large scale digital circuits. You will become experienced at the design, simulation, verification and debugging of complex large scale digital circuits using a Hardware Description Language (HDL) and current CAD tools with FPGA development boards. Two group design projects will be undertaken: one involving an HDL using FPGA devices and another involving custom VLSI CMOS design and simulation

Assessment

Hurdle tasks must be passed regardless of your overall mark.
