La evolución en la tecnología de circuitos VLSI da lugar, entre otras cosas, a un aumento en la escala de integración causado por dos factores. Por una parte, la reducción en las dimensiones mínimas de los transistores y, por otra, el aumento total del área máxima que puede ocupar un chip. Según datos que se aportan en [DALL98] la reducción de...

Dado el carácter principalmente práctico en las asignaturas de los másteres universitarios la metodología PBL es ampliamente utilizada. Este trabajo presenta una experiencia docente de varios años, donde se aplica PBL, pero uniendo a todos los alumnos en un único grupo/equipo para la realización de un proyecto conjunto. Para este fin, se...

This contribution describes the experience of updating a basic digital electronics course in a Computer Science grade as a consequence of the new grades introduced by the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) in a Spanish university. The group under study is special in because it is taught in English under a pilot scheme carried out by the...

Esta contribución presenta una experiencia sobre el proceso de adaptación de una asignatura de electrónica digital básica de primer curso de la titulación de Ingeniería Informática impartida por los autores en uno de sus grupos, con motivo de la implantación de los nuevos títulos de grado. El grupo tiene la particularidad de impartirse en...

In the field of logic simulation, the constant advance of technology influences remarkably in the circuits dynamic behavior. Our main aim is to increase precision of logic simulators by taking into account this influence. This task has two main objectives: (a) developing a model for logic gates that unifies the functional behavior and the...

Complex digital systems are typically built on top of several abstraction levels: digital, RTL, computer, operating system and software application. Each abstraction level greatly facilitates the design task at the cost of paying in performance and hardware resources usage. Network time synchronization is a good example of a complex...

This paper describes a proposal for teaching the digital electronics laboratory that combines the traditional method based on the assembly of discrete components on test boards with remote teaching using the virtual teaching platform, the use of simulators and programmable logic devices. The aim is to promote autonomy and creativity and to...

Traditional on-chip and off-chip logic analyzers present important shortcomings when used for the longterm verification of industrial embedded systems, forcing the designer to implement ad hoc verification solutions. This paper introduces a suitable solution for long-term verification of FPGA-based designs consisting of a verification core that...

This communication shows the influence of clocking schemes on the digital switching noise generation. It will be shown how the choice of a suited clocking scheme for the digital part reduces the switching noise, thus alleviating the problematic associated to limitations of performances in mixed-signal Analog/Digital Integrated Circuits....
