(mainly VHDL) |
| Providing Institution |
University of Bolton |
| Credits |
20 credits at level M |
| Length and Delivery Mode |
Internet based distance learning over 14
weeks |
| Synopsis |
This module introduces the high
level computer aided design tools that are used to automate and
improve the efficiency of the electronic design activity. Circuit
simulation, logic simulation, behavioural simulation, logic synthesis
and test generation are included. Principles of operation are detailed
in the teaching material and practical exercises using the electronic
design automation (EDA) tools provide competence in their utilisation.
The remote access facility developed for the AMI course allows students
to practice using industry standard circuit simulators (SPICE/Spectre),
behavioural and structural hardware description language (HDL) simulators
(VHDL and Verilog) and fault simulators (VERIFAULT). |

| Module Title |
Digital IC Design |
| Providing Institution |
University of Bolton |
| Credits |
15 credits at level M |
| Length and Delivery Mode |
Internet based distance learning over 14
weeks |
| Synopsis |
This module introduces high level
digital integrated circuit design techniques, design methodologies
and the practical use of CAD tools to design and test complex digital
circuits. The study time divides into two halves. The first half
deals with the design techniques and methodologies particularly
appropriate to the implementation of digital systems on silicon
and is delivered in instructional web based format with accompanying
self assessment questions. The second half of the study time is
allocated to the implementation of a digital system on a standard
cell device using the Cadence design flow. This activity is delivered
online to the students from a central UNIX CAD server via a fast
communications protocol that is optimised for the internet. |

| Length and Delivery Mode |
Online distance learning using the
"Blackboard" e-learning portal housed on the ISLI server. |
| Synopsis |
The aim of the module is to provide
an appreciation of the design issues involved in assembling a system-level
