Fundamentals of Smart Systems
The course aims to develop a detailed knowledge and critical understanding of Smart Systems technologies and the physics of MEMS devices. A significant range of principal and specialist skills will be developed in the fields of Smart Systems manufacturing technology, and its applications in MEMS and bio-MEMS devices. During the laboratory work the students are getting familiar with the numerical modelling and analysis by the use of a cutting edge simulation tool.
System-Level Design
The course gives a wide coverage of the most important hardware description languages for modelling and constructing digital and analog systems and behavioural modelling of MEMS devices.The course presents the questions and methodologies of hardware-software and MEMS-IC co-design, virtual components, intellectual property and system synthesis.
Circuit environment
The scope of the subject is to get the students acquainted with the development of the packaged intelligent devices operating environment, the design software, the modern simulation tools. Deals with the design, testing, simulation steps and gives practical knowledge on their industrial applications. Introduce the theoretical background of the simulations and physical phenomenon.
Smart Systems Design Laboratory
The laboratory practice covers the complete design flow of IC and MEMS co-design. A workgroup of students are designing a Smart System solution including MEMS sensors and actuators and the relevant CMOS circuitry, using the most up to date simulation and design softwares. The laboratory practice is built on the lecture course of System Level Design.
