Title
An analog integrated systems course proposal for a 2nd cycle of studies of the bologna process
Abstract
This paper describes a course offered in the Master program in Electrical and Computer Engineering of Instituto Superior Técnico. The course is on analog integrated circuit design in mixed analog-digital context and is named Analog Integrated Systems (AIS). The novelty of this course is that it is organized on a top-down-top approach that allows a uniform distribution of workload throughout the 14 weeks semester. The pedagogical model chosen emphasize the practical design of an integrated circuit to comply with a given specification, while the students have all the freedom in choosing the approach to fulfil them. The course uses a professional CAD tool, “Cadence Design Framework II”, and the design flow procedure is in accordance with common practices used in the industry. The proposed model has been classroom tested in the last four years with positive student reviews on course quality assessment.
