Mixed-Mode VLSI Systems

3 Credits.

Silicon models of information and signal processing functions, with implementation in mixed analog and digital CMOS integrated circuits. Aspects of structured design, scalability, parallelism, low power consumption, and robustness to process variations. Topics include digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital conversion, delta-sigma modulation, bioinstrumentation, and adaptive neural computation. The course includes a VLSI design project.
