Aim:
The course aims at providing knowledge on the design of digital integrated CMOS circuits. After completing the course the students should be able to perform the following:
- design combinational and sequential circuits
- design static and dynamic circuits
- comprehend and apply electrical models of integrated components
- estimate circuit performance.
|
|
Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Knowledge on basic electrical components like resistors, capacitors, inductors, and semiconductors. Ability to solve basic electrical, switching theory, and logical design problems.
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

|
Organisation:
The course consists of lectures, and in connection to those, exercises and laboratory work. The course is given in Ht1 and is completed within one study period.
|
|
Course contents:
The lectures, exercises, and laboratory work treat the following subjects:
- electrical and geometrical properties of the MOSFET
- the MOSFET used as a switch
- combinational circuits in CMOS technique
- static and dynamic characteristics of CMOS circuits
- power dissipation in CMOS circuits
- circuit realisation using different logic styles
- sequential circuits and clocking strategies
- latches, flip-flops, and shift-registers
- basic logic and arithmetic blocks
- layout strategies and CAD tools.
