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.
