Entry requirements
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Prerequisites
To have a chip to evaluate the student must have attended TSEK06 VLSI Design, and sent a chip for fabrication.Intended learning outcomes
The course is a follow-up of the course TSEK01 VLSI Design, and will give practical knowledge of evaluation of a VLSI chip, including:
- Careful planning for chip evaluation, and identification of effective methods for functionality and performance tests.
- Planning and assembling of printed circuit board (PCB) before the chip measurements.
- Understanding and experience of using high precision measurement equipments in a correct and effective manner.
- Systematic evaluation of a chip including both functionality and performance tests and/or identification of reasons for incorrect operations.
Course content
Test and measurement issues. Fault diagnosis. Evaluation of chip performance.
Teaching and working methods
Introductory lecture and laboratory exercises. The course concentrates on testing and debugging of the integrated circuit, which the student designed in the course VLSI Design. During the second lecture the students give a short presentation of their results. The final report should be handed-in to the supervisor.
