Learning objectives / Learning Outcomes

A student is, after successful completion of this module, able to understand

·       The most important design and verification abstractions as well as the design flow for the design of integrated electronic systems,

·       Selected algorithms for optimization, simulation and solving of design tasks,

·       Advanced methods for the design and simulation of analog integrated circuits in modern CMOS technologies,

·       Advanced concepts of hardware description languages and their concepts (Verilog, VHDL, Verilog-A, Verilog-AMS, System-Verilog)

Recommended prerequisite for participation

In general, any introductory lecture on electronic circuit design, can serve as a prerequisite for this lecture. Participants of CAD4SoC must have

·       knowledge of Logic circuits (Inverter, NAND, NOR), and how to deal with boolean logic

·       fundamental, coarse knowledge on how a transistor works (no details required, but knowledge on how simple transistor circuits work (e.g. single-stage amplifier, or connected, ideal opamp)) are beneficial
