Integrated Circuit ProfessionaL Upgrading
Series
(IC-PLUS)
IC-PLUS, one of the PMEs’
initiatives under Skills Training for Excellence
Programme (STEP), encompass a series of Integrated
Circuit (IC) Professional Development Programmes (PDP);
aiming to enable Professionals, Managerial and
Executives (PMEs) in acquiring the latest IC technology
knowledge, trends and tools to enhance and deepen their
existing capabilities.
In collaboration with
VIRTUS (Latin for Excellence) IC Design Centre of
Excellence, NTU-CCE proposed a series of Integrated
Circuit (IC) PDP in the areas such as, analog IC design,
signal integrity and IC packaging. Due to the rapid
advancement in IC design, these courses are intended to
cover not only the fundamental principles and theories,
but also the current industrial practices. It is an
avenue for participants to raise current industrial
issues for active discussions.

This course focuses on
basic analog integrated circuit design. It includes
design and analysis of basic analog functional module
designs such as current mirrors, active load, biasing
circuits, voltage reference and operational amplifiers.
This course exposes participants to fundamentals of
semiconductor processing, characteristics and
implementation of passive and active components,
including electrical modeling and SPICE simulation
techniques. In the hands-on sessions, the participants
will learn to design analog circuits based on a given
specifications. Through hands-on calculation and
extensive simulations, they will design the analog
block. |

This course aims to provide
a deep understanding of the fundamental principles
underlying the core technology of integrated circuit
(IC) packaging for participants, and build-up their
ability in IC packaging design, materials, thermal
management, fabrication and characterization.
Participants are expected to have a good knowledge on
the fundamental theories, design, simulation,
fabrication processes and possible failure mechanisms
relating to IC packaging for different applications and
be motivated to apply IC packaging design, innovation
and failure analysis methods to applications of their
own interests and relate to their own individual
research and development areas.

27 Feb to 02 March 2012
Standard Fee:
S$1690.60 (inclusive of GST)
Fee
After Subsidy:
S$845.30 (inclusive of GST)

The course deals with the
analysis and design of RF integrated circuits, RF IC
modeling, and provides a systematic view on RF ICs. The
course will handle the architectures and also emphasizes
circuit level designs with respect to CMOS VLSI
technologies. At the completion of the subject,
participants should be able to appreciate the system
considerations and the circuit behaviours, understand
the methodologies for the design and modeling of RF
integrated circuits, understand the design
considerations of RF integrated circuits and hence
capable of analysing and synthesising new RF
architectures based on the concept learned in the
course, and understand the effects of the parasitic
parameters introduced from layout of a block of CMOS
circuit.

Integrity in High Speed Digital Systems |
|
Standard Fee:
S$1690.60 (inclusive of GST)
Fee
After Subsidy:
S$845.30 (inclusive of GST)
|
The
subject covers analog behaviour of digital system under
high-speed operation. The focus is restricted to the
interconnects, drivers and receivers only. This course
aims to provide knowledge on the following important
topics:
-
Introduction to modeling and characterization of
output buffers and receivers for analysis and design
of digital system under high-speed operation.
-
Introduction to modeling of interconnects including
model reduction techniques, in PCB as well as in
integrated circuits.
-
Analysis of transmission lines and termination.
-
Introduction to signal integrity issues due to
non-ideal interconnects and buffers, timing, clock
distributions and power distribution network
fluctuation.

IC-PLUS: Verilog HDL
for Digital System Design |
|
Standard Fee:
S$1690.60 (inclusive of GST)
Fee
After Subsidy:
S$845.30 (inclusive of GST)
|
This
course covers the use of Verilog HDL in high-level
synthesis of digital system designs. The language
Verilog HDL as well as how it is used for describing,
modeling, simulating and synthesizing various digital
modules will be addressed. Verilog HDL coding and
synthesis issues on combinational and sequential modules
including Finite State Machine will be discussed. In the
hands-on sessions, the participants will not only learn
the language through hands-on coding, synthesis and
simulation of some practical designs, but they will also
synthesize and test the designs with industrial software
packages and FPGA devices.
