SOC (System on Chip) Issues
These courses discuss issues that are relevant to designing systems-on-chip products.
| 166 | Production Testing of RF and SOC Devices for Wireless Communications A merger of RF and mixed-signal test is upon us with the increasing number of integrated wireless devices being developed with System-On-a-Chip (SOC) technology. Test engineering is becoming an engineering class unto itself. It no longer suffices to be an RF test engineer, or mixed signal engineer or digital engineer. A new breed of engineer, the SOC test engineer, is becoming a necessity. This highly sought after skill set is what is demanded by wireless chip manufactures (Bluetooth, WLAN, 2G, 2.5G, 3G, UWB). This course is the first of its kind to help train the already talented test engineers with the necessary SOC skill sets required for the next generation devices.

| 215 | Power Conversion & Regulation Circuits for VLSI Systems Developing power conversion/regulation solutions for VLSI systems and mixed-signal analog/RF System-on-Chip (SoC) types of loads require engineers with solid background in both traditional power converters design as well as analog/RF mixed-signal VLSI design. Power conversion/regulation circuits with such a VLSI and SoC focus are rarely covered in graduate or undergraduate power electronics courses. With the growing demand in semiconductor industries for expertise in this area, there is a serious shortage in engineers who have the necessary background combination to design efficient and cost-effective solutions for such loads. This course will introduce the fundamental principles of power conversion/regulation circuits such as Linear/switching regulators and battery chargers used in VLSI systems. This includes: Architectures, Performance metrics, characterization, stability and noise analysis, practical implementations, on-chip integration issues, and design considerations for portable, wireless, and RF SoCs.
