Course Information


《Overview》

System on Chip (SoC) is composed of many functional modules such as processor, memory, digital IPs, analog/mixed signal modules, RF and interfaces on a single chip. This course gives an introduction to digital IP design, the on-chip bus and integration of SoC. A term project is required in the lab part of the course. The labs are designed under the ARM Developer Suite (ADS) and ARM Integrator development board environment.


《Prerequisites》

Cell-based VLSI Design
C/C++, Assembly
Synthesizable HDL Coding Skills
