Introduction to Integrated Electronics

The aims of this module are: 1. to provide an insight into the jobs of electronic engineers in the world of microelectronics and the semiconductor industry, 2. to provide an introduction to CMOS integrated circuit manufacturing technologies, 3. to analyze and describe the functionality of electronic circuits using a top-down approach, 4. synthesize elementary electronic functions using a traditional "bottom-up" approach, 5. apply the knowledge acquired to an industrial CAD environment using the CADENCE software tool chain, in the form of an integrated circuit design project.

Module outline
The EA116 module consists of:
a general introductory course on the microelectronics industry
6 TDs:

The MOS transistor and the CMOS inverter
Study of a flash-type CAN (preparation for the project)
Switch circuits
The current mirror function
The differential amplification function
CMOS logic gates

The TDs correspond to the theoretical part of the project, which takes place as follows (half-day block TD+project)
of 7 project sessions:
The project consists of realizing the 4-bit flash CAN function.
The first session is dedicated to discovering the Cadence simulation software
the following sessions concern the CAN: the project is divided into several parts so as to advance step by step on the converter design.
The objectives of each session are clearly stated at the beginning of the session.
A report is requested at the end of May.
