Aim: To enable the students a) to analyse and design ultra-fast integrated circuits, that can work at data speeds higher than 1Gbit/s for use in broadband communications (broadband electronics), especially optical communication and ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) systems; b) to understand the design principles involved spanning from transistor level over standard cells to high-level design; c) to take part in research work on design and application of monolithic integrated circuits for optical communication and ATM systems.
