Firstly, there is a block dedicated to the design of digital circuits of medium-high complexity by means of hardware description languages. Second, microelectronics is studied, including transistor level design and design level for both analog and digital blocks. This second block presents current manufacturing technologies and CMOS manufacturing processes. Aspects related to the integration of mixed signal circuits are also included. Finally, there is a third block dedicated to the special considerations of IC design. 1. Introduction to integrated circuits and microelectronics. Design methodology 2. Design of digital integrated circuits and validation using hardware description languages - Design of medium-high complexity digital circuits with VHDL - Types of digital architectures: serial, parallel, pipelined - Validation, simulation models 3.

The course will be carried out through the following activities: 1. Theoretical classes: they aim to present the knowledge that students must acquire, as well as carrying out practical exercises to develop this knowledge in an applied way. To facilitate their development, students will receive class notes and can use basic reference texts that allow them to complete and study in depth those units in which they are most interested. 2. Classes of exercises and practices. The objective is to develop a complete practical case and to assimilate the use of simulation and synthesis tools. 3. Student study: exercises and complementary readings proposed by the teacher. Personal study. 4. Exams and other assessment tests
