Learning outcomes

By completing the course, the student will get advanced knowledge in the field of design and implementation of the systems in the field of computer engineering. The student will be able to solve technical problems of realization and implementation of digital systems based on application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC). The course is intended primarily for practice-oriented students who want to be familiar with current methods and systems of design and testing of integrated circuits, designed for computer systems and networks.

Course outline

(1) Microelectronic circuits production. (2) Methodology of specification and design of microelectronic circuit structures using CAD tools. (3) The use of the design tools in the digital electronics from drawing the electronic circuits, through their circuit simulation, up to the design of microelectronic structures as integrated circuits. New circuit principles, and modern building blocks. (4) Operation of the current mirror and current source with bipolar and MOS transistors. (5) Operation of the active load. (6) Differential transistor stage operation. (7) Differential transistor stage with active load. (8) Comparator operation. (9) Operation of the basic digital gates and blocks. (10) Design of integrated circuits (ICs) using CAD tools. (11) IC layout topology design rules for standard manufacturing technologies. (12) Design of current source and a comparator for digital logic blocks. (13) Design of elementary digital logic blocks- combinational logic gates and sequential logic gates.

Completion conditions

Assessment and completion of the course: Credit test and examination Continuous assessment: Student passes the continuous assessment and receives credits when he or she meets the requirement to obtain at least 21% out of 40%. Credit test Final assessment: Student passes the final assessment and passes the examination when he or she meets the requirement to obtain at least 31% out of 60%. Examination Overall assessment: Overall assessment is the sum of the assessments obtained by students in the assessment period. The overall result is determined in accordance with the internal regulations of the Technical University in Košice. (Study Regulations, the internal regulation principles of doctoral studies)
