CSE 464M - Digital Systems Engineering

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

Design and characterization of digital circuits, reliable and predictable interconnection of digital devices, and information transfer over busses and other connections. Topics include: review of MOSFET operation; CMOS logic gate electrical characteristics; system and single-point noise margin and noise budgets; figures of merit for noise-margin and power-delay product, and trade-off between noise margin and propagation delay; Transmission-line driving including reflection, termination, nonzero transition time, lumped and distributed capacitance loads, nonlinear terminations, and applicable conditions for lumped approximations; coupled transmission lines, forward and backward crosstalk, short line approximations, ground bounce, and simultaneous switching noise; timing, clocking, and clock distribution for digital circuits; prediction of metastability error rates and design for acceptable probability of failure. Examples and design exercises using systems and interconnections selected from current Computer Engineering practice such as RAMBUS, PCI bus, GTL, LVDS, and others. Prerequisites: ESE 232 and CSE 362M.
