Offered in August semester 2020-21
Previously Offered in August semester 2019-20
Objective of the course:
The objective of this course is to impart basic background in analog and digital circuits. The course would use simple models; detailed description of the semiconductor devices would be covered in a separate course. The internal circuits of the blocks used in this course (such as op-amps, logic gates) will not be covered in this course. Instead, the broad behavioral description of these blocks will be used to explain the circuit operation.
Offered in August semester
Objective of the course:
Micro and Nano devices and systems are at the heart of the modern-day technology. All the microelectronic or nano-electronic circuits used in laptop, mobiles and other gadgets are products of this technology. Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and microelectronic circuits share the same process technology. It is important to get familiar with these sensors and circuits we use everyday. Objective of the course is to teach the students – Why these sensors are important, how do they work and most importantly how are they made. After successfully completing this course, students will have a clear idea about MEMS and NEMS devices and their applications. They will know how to design, analyse and characterize a micro or nano system. They will also have an idea about MEMSfabrication.
Offered in January semester
Objective of the course:
This objective of this course is to provide a comprehensive understanding of digital circuits and systems, including logic families, combinatorial and sequential circuits, and hardware description language. It covers overview of logic families, noise margins, CMOS-based logic gates, binary number systems, digital arithmetic, and finite state machine design, analysis, and synthesis. The course also introduces hardware description languages and array-based logic elements like memory, PLA, and FPGA. Special topics such as processor design, testing, and verification are also covered to equip students with essential skills for digital system design.
