This MSc course provides designers with in-depth knowledge of analogue, mixed signal and digital circuits and also experience with both the practical issues of device-level design and system-level performance requirements. A key feature is the course's balanced approach to both analogue and digital IC design, and its in-depth treatment of high frequency and low power circuits. Issues related to design for test and CAD algorithms and design automation will be covered, as well as robust design methods, which allow relaxation of performance requirements, yield enhancement and exploitation of state-of-the-art process technology.
Students on the course choose a minimum of seven technical lecture-based modules from a total of 13. Four modules are compulsory and the rest are chosen from a list of technical modules. Students are also required to complete compulsory laboratory work.
In the autumn term you will choose an individual research project. During term-time you will work part-time on your project, and from Easter onwards; full-time, under the supervision of a member of the Faculty staff. A thesis on the research project is due by the end of September, as well as a related presentation in the form of a colloquium or a poster in a mini conference to be held towards the end of September. Course assessment will be based on performance in seven three-hour examination papers taken at the end of the Easter vacation as well as the project colloquium and thesis.
