The basic function of an IoT node is to collect data and send it through a wireless channel to the cloud. Since the power consumption of an IoT node is largely dominated by the wireless communication, it is therefore key to understand the trade-offs faced ...
This course presents the design of low-power analog CMOS integrated circuits. The techniques are based on the concept of inversion coefficient that can be used as the main design parameter for the optimization of figures-of-merit applied to circuits includ ...
This course deals with the analyze, design and optimization of CMOS analog circuits, emphasizing low-power solutions required in a broad range of applications (e.g. IoT, wearables, Biosensors ...). Some examples of mixed-signal design are also addressed. ...
The objective of this course is to discuss the state-of-the-art in low-power analog and digital system design, with special emphasis on transistor level measures to limit and to control the power dissipation of portable systems. ...
The course presents and analyses the different systems, architectures and components of spacecraft avionics (on board data handling and processing systems) controlling and commanding spacecraft and payloads (instruments). It will study typical bus structur ...
This lecture provides insights in the design and technologies of Internet-of-Things sensor nodes, with focus on low power technologies. The lectures alternate every two weeks between sensing technologies of various kinds (prof. Ionescu) and their integrate ...
Logic synthesis describes techniques to map complex functionality into a sequence of a few, simple, and small logic primitives. It finds application dominantly in digital design, but is most recently also frequently used in cryptography and quantum computi ...
In this project-based course, students collect hands-on experience with designing full-custom digital VLSI circuits in dynamic logic. They learn to carry out the design and optimization on transistor level, including logic and clock tree, the verification, ...
