Knowledge
The student who successfully completes the course will be able to demonstrate a solid knowledge of the main issues related to analog and digital integrated circuit design with emphasis on full-custom and semi-custom design flows by exploiting state-of-the-art computer aided design tools. He or she will acquire the ability to analyze and design main analog building blocks following a full custom design flow and exploiting an educational electronic design automation environment. He or she will understand main parameters affecting analog circuit performance.
The student will also acquire the ability to master digital integrated circuit design trade-offs by exploiting state-of-the-art computer aided design and verification tools. He or she will acquire the ability to analyze and design circuits and architectures for the main building blocks of digital signal processing systems taking into account main performance metrics (area, speed, power consumption and reliability).

Syllabus
The course is organized in two parts. The first one covers the fundamentals of full custom integrated circuit (IC) design and the basic building blocks used to synthesize complex analogue systems. In particular, the students will be introduced to main steps of the full custom design flow, illustrated by means of educational EDA tools. Furthermore, the most frequently used elementary analogue circuits will be analyzed taking into account small signal and large signal d.c. performance parameters. The second part covers digital IC design including: Design space exploration according to given performance metrics. Design methodologies for full-custom and semi-custom digital IC design including FPGA by exploiting state-of-the-art EDA tools. CMOS static and dynamic logic families, latch and flop design, ALU and MAC design, power supply and clock distribution, signal integrity, and I/O design. Design techniques for the reduction of CMOS power consumption at different levels of abstractions.
