授業の概要
/Course outline
Because CMOS technologies are widely used in modern electronics such as cellular and smart phones, we need advanced knowledge of CMOS circuits. Moreover, recently the demand for mixed-signal CMOS LSIs, including analog and RF (Radio Frequency) circuits, is very rapidly increasing, especially for consumer electronics and communication equipment. This course covers basic CMOS analog circuits design. First, basics of electrical circuits including transient analysis will be reviewed. Then, the load line analysis will be introduced and will be applied to basic MOS amplifiers. From the AC performance analysis, small signal equivalent circuits will be given. Finally, OP amplifier and basics of A/D & D/A converters will be covered.
A hands-on approach is emphasized through laboratory exercises in which the student develops skills using the basic test equipment. Starting from series LC resonant circuits, parallel LC resonant circuits will be covered. Then, MOSFET amplifiers with resistive loads will be covered. The student can also learn close relationship between analog amplifiers and digital inverters observing pulse responses of the MOSFET amplifier. Finally, basic Op amplifier circuits and a low-bit A/D converter will be covered.

授業の概要
/Course outline
A large change in the computing world has started in the last few years: not only are the fastest computers parallel, but nearly all computers will soon be parallel, because the physics of semiconductor manufacturing will no longer let conventional sequential processors get faster year after year, as they have for so long (roughly doubling in speed every 18 months for many years). So all programs that need to run faster will have to
become parallel programs. As multi-core processors and cluster systems have become ubiquitous, the demand for parallelization methods and technologies is also increasing. Parallel computer architecture is a field related to the development of these methods and computing technologies. Parallelism can be applied to different levels of a computer
system and different challenges and solutions exist.
授業の目的と到達目標
/Objectives and attainment
goals
The objective of this course is to understand the basic knowledge for designing and evaluating parallel computer architectures. The class will focus on understanding the elements that characterize parallel architectures, technical challenges, and possible solutions. Exercises in parallel programming will provide an understanding of parallel architectures through actual programming.

授業の概要
/Course outline
Due to progress of LSI technology, developing electronics and advancing performance are achieved. Although the speed of a transistor is improved by the progress of process technology in LSI, it increases the routing delay. Since the routing delay is determined by layout process, it is important to understand the knowledge about layout design. In this class, students learn the knowledge of the LSI design.

FU04 Logic Circuit Design
更新日/Last updated on 2022/02/07
授業の概要
/Course outline
In digital integrated circuits such as processors, the almost all design starts from modeling functional requirements using a hardware description language (HDL). A circuit is synthesized from the model by using electronic design automation (EDA) tools. Therefore, it is important to know how to model functional requirements using an HDL and how EDA tools synthesize digital integrated circuits.
授業の目的と到達目標
/Objectives and attainment
goals
This course is an advanced course for logic circuit design. In lectures, students study a modeling method for digital integrated circuits using an HDL, the overview of logic synthesis tool, and a verification method for the designed circuits. In exercises, students model circuits using an HDL, synthesize logic circuits using an EDA tool. In addition, students implement the designed logic circuits on a field programmable gate array (FPGA). The performance of the implemented circuits is evaluated on an FPGA board.
