Prerequisites
Basic courses in digital circuitsIntended learning outcomes
General methods and principles used for designing and implementing application specific integrated circuits are presented. The emphasis is put on a systematic design methodology going from system specification down to complete integrated circuit. After completing the course you are expected to be able to:
- Analyze computational properties of signal processing algorithms
- Determine resource requirements for implementation of signal processing algorithms
- Determine the suitability of different types of architectures for implementation of signal processing algorithms
- Synthesize nearly optimal architectures
- Realize and evaluate different types of processing elements
- Determine limits on the obtainable data rate
- Determine a computational order of operations
- Compute the latency and execution time of operations and determine the impact of these properties
- Determine computational graphs and optimize schedules
- Define and analyze different types of optimality in parts of the design flow
- Determine and optimize resource allocation and resource assignment
- Synthesize and analyze different architectures for signal processing systems
- Realize different types of processing elements using different arithemtic styles
Course content
System design and implementation using VLSI-technology or FPGA-technology of some signal processing applications, e.g., digital filters, FFT, and DCT. System specification, system architecture, analysis of computing properties of DSP algorithms. Synthesis of optimal DSP architectures. Conventional implementation methodologies. Processing elements and arithmetic. Implementation aspects.
Teaching and working methods
The course consists of lectures, exercises, computer and laboratory exercises.

Regulations (apply to LiU in its entirety)
The university is a government agency whose operations are regulated by legislation and ordinances, which include the Higher Education Act and the Higher Education Ordinance. In addition to legislation and ordinances, operations are subject to several policy documents. The Linköping University rule book collects currently valid decisions of a regulatory nature taken by the university board, the vice-chancellor and faculty/department boards.
LiU’s rule book for education at first-cycle and second-cycle levels is available at http://styrdokument.liu.se/Regelsamling/Innehall/Utbildning_pa_grund-_och_avancerad_niva.
Course literature is preliminary.
