Aims

The aim of the course is to study in-depth standard digital integrated circuits (such as Boolean gates, flip-flops, registers, finite-state machines, memories, ...) including the design, simulation and synthesis aspects. This course will also present the architecture of standard microcontrollers.

Content and teaching methods

1) Standard digital circuits
- combinatorial circuits
- implementation
- sequential circuits (Flip-flops, counters, FSM)
- VHDL : synthesis and simulation
2) Microcontrollers
- architecture
- periperals
- assembler programming
3) Integrated digital circuits
- spice models
- MOS digital circuits (NMOS, CMOS)
- bipolar digital circuits (TTL, ECL, BiCMOS)
- memories (ROM, SRAM, DRAM)

Other information (prerequisite, evaluation (assessment methods), course materials recommended readings, ...)
