EEX05 Chip Design

Topics: BSc 2nd year elective

During this project, the student will learn how to make a chip design with a group. The project focuses on structural hierarchical design and on working together within a group. The students are divided into groups of about 5-7 persons and each group together designs a chip. All groups will have to select one or more sensors from a list of three options.

Study Goals

At the end of the project, you should be able to:
1. Make a design using global product specifications, including boundary conditions,
2. Design in a systematic hierarchical way
3. Use analysis together with synthesis during the design process
4. Analyse their design at different levels of abstraction,
5. Use different types of models during the design,
6. Take into account testability
7. Perform the above design process within a group,
8. Make a design as a part of a group design,
9. Use modern computer tools during the design,
10. Make documentation about the design.
