Aim:
General methods and principles used for designing and implementing application specific integrated circuits are presented. The emphasis is put on a systematic design methodology going from system specification down to complete integrated circuit. After completing the course you are expected to be able to:
- Analyze computational properties of signal processing algorithms
- Determine resource requirements for implementation of signal processing algorithms
- Determine the suitability of different types of architectures for implementation of signal processing algorithms
- Synthesize nearly optimal architectures
- Realize and evaluate different types of processing elements
As parts of the course the student is expected to be able to:
- Determine limits on the obtainable data rate
- Determine a computational order of operations
- Compute the latency and execution time of operations and determine the impact of these properties
- Determine computational graphs and optimize schedules
- Define and analyze different types of optimality in parts of the design flow
- Determine and optimize resource allocation and resource assignment
- Synthesize and analyze different architectures for signal processing systems
- Realize different types of processing elements using different arithemtic styles
