ECE 527

ECE527 covers the tools and techniques used to develop application specific integrated circuits, including mask programmed devices and field programmable circuits. Topics include synthesis methodologies, performance tradeoffs and constraints. Asynchronous interfaces are covered in detail for both single bit and bus interconnects. A non-theoretical introduction to test and testability is also included.

The prerequisite is ECE526/L. Transfer or incoming graduate students from other universities who have not taken this exact course should have a good working knowledge of SystemVerilog and digital simulation.
