EE241: Advanced Digital Integrated Circuits

Projects

To foster design innovation and creative thinking, a major part of the class grade is based on a design project. The idea of the project is to study one of the current "hot items" in digital circuit design and to propose, analyze and design a novel solution to one of those problems. The project is performed in groups of two and will span the complete semester.

Schedule

A report is expected at both week 9 and week 15. To make the results available to the complete group and to make your results more dynamic, you will be required to provide them as web-entries. For those of you not familiar with the creation of a web-page, please refer to A Beginners Guide to HTML . Excellent web-page composers exist and most word processing and presentation tools provide a web output generator.
