Objectives
On completion of this module students will:1. understand the principles of the design of digital signal processing systems for VLSI technologies;
2. have a detailed knowledge of digital design techniques for silicon chip technologies in the sub-100nm scale;
3. understand the fundamentals of implementing complex systems on a single chip;
4. be able to use contemporary EDA design tools to design practical examples.
Syllabus

2. The use of contemporary EDA design tools, such as Altera Quartus, ModelSim and Mentor Graphics.
3. Complex system design with practical examples (such as digital filters, DCT and FFT).
4. Introduction to DSP system design.
5. DSP architectures and their synthesis.
6. Uni-processor designs.
7. Digital filter design.
8. Soft Processors.
9. VLSI Synthesis of DSP kernels.
10. Algorithmic and architectural transforms.

Private study
Students are expected to read extensively in order to understand and complete the mini projects and the main project. The project will be partly carried out in timetabled classes and partly in the students' own time.Opportunities for Formative Feedback
Students progress is monitored by assessment of the four mini-projects and by regular inspection of their log-book record of the project.Methods of assessment
