General
Information
The
Federal University of Campina Grande is a member of the Cadence
University Program and this web page outlines how Cadence
products are used on our campus. This web page only describes the
courses and research projects that use Cadence products, other
software may also be used but that is not under the scope of
this page. Remember: Cadence is the name of a company - students
do not "learn Cadence", they learn about Cadence
products.
1.
Integrated Circuit for Processing of Meteorological
Signals
Type:
research
Project of an integrated circuit of a converting
sigma-delta with thermoresistive sensor in the mesh of feedback
of the converter, with the goal of measuring fluid speeds.
2.
Structure and Conception of Integrated Circuit
Type:
classroom
Introduction to Microelectronics. Elements of
physics of semiconductors, technology and modeling of
transistors. Mathematical tools. Basic components. Amplification.
Techniques of commuted capacitors. Technique in current way.
Introduction to filtering. Introduction to
analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion. Noise in
integrated circuits. Simulation. Test of ICs.
3.
IC of a Analog-to-digital Sigma-delta Converter with
Termoresistive Sensor
Type:
research
Project of an integrated circuit of a converting
sigma-delta with thermoresistive sensor in the mesh of feedback of
the converter, with the goal of measuring temperature and humidity.
4.
ASIC Design Process.
Type:
classroom
The course introduces basic techniques of
optimization of VLSI circuits. Algorithms for circuit
partitioning, floorplanning, placement and global routing.
Scaling and deep-submicron issues in VLSI design are emphasized.
5.
Functional Verification in ASIC Design.
Type:
classroom
This course introduces basic techniques of
functional verification of ASIC Design.
6.
Speaker Verification IP-Core.
Type:
research
The Speaker Verification IP-Core is responsible for
verifying whether a speaker is who he or she claims to be or not.
The verification is done by comparing a set of coefficients,
extracted in real time from his/her voice, with a set of
coefficients (a codebook) previously obtained during a speaker
system-training phase. So, there are three possible responses:
Accepted, Rejected or Unknown.
7.
PLC.
Type: research
Technology that
allows communication through lines of low, medium or high
voltage, through a modem that modulates the digital input to an
analog signal, using S-FSK modulation, and also demodulates the
received signal into a digital signal.
8.
PhD Project.
Type:
research
Development of a wireless sensor based on RFID
technology with the following tools:
1. Virtuoso;
2.
QRC;
3. Assura Physical Verification
9.
RISC-V.BR
Type:
research
RISC-V.BR is a project developed since 2016 by Embedded Lab as a part of
the PEM initiative (Projects for Excellence in Microelectronics), which is the new home
of the Brazil-IP team. The goal is to develop a RISC-V based solution for Domestic
Internet of Things (DIoT). An SoC will be developed integrating the PLCM IP-core and
adding more functionality such as cryptography acceleration or a TrustZone
implementation. This could be used, e.g., as part of an intelligent system for
monitoring energy consumption and home automation.
10.
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) IPs for high-speed optical transceivers
Type:
research
This project aims to develop new algorithms/architectures for DSP functions frequently
used in high-speed optical transceivers. Basically, the students will develop new IP cores in RTL,
focusing on power consumption optimization, area reduction and system performance.
The development follows a continuous integration ASIC flow, including front-end design,
Universal Verification Methodology, back-end design down to GDSII and sign-off.
