Lecturer:

Pavel Hazdra (gar.)

Tutor:

Pavel Hazdra (gar.)

Supervisor:

Department of Microelectronics

Synopsis:

IC's, reasons for integration, processes and methods of IC design. Custom IC's, programmable IC's. PICs with AND-OR matrices (PLD). Higher grade PLD-CPLD structures; architecture, logical blocks, interconnections. Programmable gate arrays (PGA) - principles, internal architecture. LCA-type PGA, „fine grain“ structures. Tools for automated PIC design. Description of the PIC by a schematic diagram. The VHDL language for CPLD and PGA. Design of basic logic blocks in CPLD and PGA structures. Methods of PIC design, distribution to blocks. Data paths analysis, timing, testability. Advanced PICs: re-configurable and mixed-mode structures. PIC choice strategy and economics of PIC-based design.
