Courses at UC Louvain in Electrical Engineering:
  • LELEC2570 - Synthèse des circtuis intégrés digitaux (VLSI design of digital electronic systems) with Pr. Jean-Didier Legat : 30h plenary lectures + 30h project. In this course, we learn the basics of VLSI design (HW/SW co-design, logic synthesis, place & route, timing closure, design of standard cells, layout finishing and verification) with an introduction to advanced digital electronic topics (processor architectures, digital system testing, CMOS technology scaling) and practical case-study seminars given by experts from both academic and industrial worlds. This course includes a complete VLSI project on the implementation of a MIPS processor with emphasis on timing closure, performance optimization and reliable system integration. [web]
  • LELEC2620 - Modeling and implementation of analog and mixed analog/digital circuits and systems on chip: 30h plenary lectures + 30h project. In this course, we learn the design of mixed-signal circuit design : behavorial analog modeling with Verilog-A, analog/digital partitioning, interfaces and co-integration with seminars given by experts from both academic and industrial worlds. This course includes an integrated project on the implementation of a mixed-signal circuit within a SoC with emphasis on signal-to-noise ratio, mismatch resilience and integration.
