Optoelectronic devices (detectors, emitters, modulators) from the practical realized and theoretical performance perspective. Explores monolithic and hybrid integration of devices, packaging, and system implementation.

ECE 4806/8806 VLSI-2 constitute a comprehensive Analog VLSI design experience for students involving theory, design, verification (in Analog VLSI-1) and test of a fabricated CMOS Analog VLSI design in (Analog VLSI-2). The centerpiece of this course is a semester-long effort by student-teams to combine basic principles Analog VLSI design with essential practices and principles that will allow a team of students to effectively validate and characterize both a packaged silicon sample chip, as well as directly on a wafer for the prototype they have themselves designed in VLSI-1. This syllabus outlines the second part of the two-semester series, which focuses on validation and characterization. 

Comprehensive coverage of the architecture and system issues that confront the design of high-performance workstation/PC computer architectures with emphasis on quantitative evaluation. Credit is not allowed for both ECE 4100 and any of the following courses: ECE 6100, CS 4290, CS 6290.

Experiments in analog electronics using discrete devices and off-the-shelf integrated circuits.

Second course in a culminating design sequence. Student teams design, build, test, document, demonstrate prototype system reflective of knowledge gained as an undergraduate engineering student.
