Basic knowledge of linear and non-linear components will be useful. Previous knowledge in electronics is beneficial.

No formal requirements over and above the admission requirements.

After completing this course, the student will have the following learning outcomes, defined as knowledge, skills, and general competence.

Knowledge

On successful completion of the course, the student has knowledge of:

• design flows in microelectronics,
• steady state and transient response of microelectronic building blocks,
• fundamental design metrics used for comparing microelectronic solutions.

Skills    

On successful completion of the course, the student can:

• interpret specifications of digital and analog microelectronic circuits and systems,
• analyze microelectronic circuits of medium to high complexity using paper-and-pencil method as well as CAD simulations for robust functionality, performance, power and energy dissipation,
• determine a method for delivering microelectronic circuit design based on specifications,
• provide a microelectronic circuit solution to a mixed-signal electronics problem,
• use CAD tools to design and verify microelectronic circuits and systems,
• consider implications of design and fabrication technologies on the operating characteristics of the microelectronic circuits and systems.

General competence   

On successful completion of the course, the student is capable of:

• resolving the functional and electrical characteristics of microelectronic circuits from specifications, whitepapers and datasheets,
• determining a method to analyze the characteristics of original digital and analog circuits in microelectronics,
• designing microelectronic systems using recurring topologies,
• verifying the functionality and performance of microelectronic circuits through standard analysis techniques as well as CAD based simulations.

This course will feature weekly lectures. This will be supplemented by reading and problem solving assignments, which will include design and verification using CAD tools. The project will be carried out in groups of a size suited for the chosen project.

The following coursework requirements must have been approved for the student to sit the exam:

• completion of 3 assignments with a submission for each that includes calculations, schematics and simulation-based verification.
• a group project to design and verify microelectronic circuits for a problem related to biomedical engineering applications with a maximum of 2000 word written report and a presentation as a team.

All requirements must be passed to take the written exam.

Kvalitetssikring

Hensikten med kvalitetssikringssystemet for OsloMet er å styrke studentenes læringsutbytte og utvikling ved å heve kvaliteten i alle ledd. OsloMet ønsker å samarbeide med studentene, og deres deltakelse i kvalitetssikringsarbeidet er avgjørende. Noen overordnede mål for kvalitetssikringssystemet er:• å sikre at utdanningsvirksomheten inkludert praksis, lærings- og studiemiljøet holder høy kvalitet • å sikre utdanningenes relevans til yrkesfeltet • å sikre en stadig bedre kvalitetsutvikling • For studenter innebærer dette blant annet studentevalueringer: • emneevalueringer • årlige studentundersøkelser felles for OsloMet

A handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication or to perform symbolic calculations. If the calculator’s internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be carried out.

Grading scale A - F.

One internal examiner. External examiners are used periodically.
