Software laboratory course extends the concepts developed in ECEN 4827 to full design and layout of mixed analog and digital custom integrated circuits. Assignments explore implementation of analog to digital and digital to analog converters, and final project developes a full custom IC for a target application. Requisites: Requires prerequisite course of ECEN 5827 (minimum grade C-).
Studies synthesis and optimization of sequential circuits, including retiming transformations and don't care sequences. Gives attention to hardware description languages and their application to finite state systems. Also includes synthesis for testability and performance, algorithms for test generation, formal verification of sequential systems, and synthesis of asynchronous circuits. Recommended prereqs., ECEN 5139 and CSCI 5454.
Provides mathematical and physical fundamentals necessary for the systematic analysis of electromagnetic fields problems. Covers basic properties of Maxwell's equations, potentials and jump conditions; scattering and diffraction by canonical structures; Green's functions, integral equations and approximate methods. Requires some maturity in electromagnetics. Requisites: Requires prereq course of ECEN 5114 or 5134 (minimum grade C-). Restricted to graduate students in Electrical Engr (EEEN) or Electrical/Computer Engr (ECEN) or Electrical Engr Concurrent or Electrical/Computer Engr Concurrent Degree students only.
Nonlinear systems and control. Introduction to nonlinear phenomena: multiple equilibria, limit cycles, bifurcations, complex dynamical behavior. Planar dynamical systems, analysis using phase plane techniques. Input-output analysis and stability. Passivity. Lyapunov stability theory. Feedback linearization. Exploration of examples and applications. Requisites: Requires prerequisite course of ECEN 5448 (minimum grade C-).
