2nd Cycle Postgraduate Study Programme in Electrical Engineering

Objectives and competences

Solid knowledge of digital integrated circuits and systems. Gained knowledge forms the firm basis for designing integrated circuits from the transistor-level description up to the high-level description in hardware description language

Learning and teaching methods

Lectures and tutorials.

Intended learning outcomes

After successful completion of the course, students should be able to:

  • calculate sensitivity and noise margin of digital circuit,
  • describe operation of complex digital integrated circuits and systems in highlevel description language,
  • realize all design steps for implementation in selected target technology,
  • testing of realized integrated circuit.
