Course detail
Modelling and Simulation in Microelectronics
FEKT-MPC-MSIAcad. year: 2023/2024
The course is focused on computer modelling and analysis of electronic circuits and microelectronic structures. In this course general principles, capabilities and limitations of computer analysis of electronic circuits, meaning, and use of various types of analysis are shown to a students. Practical experience with the usage of computer modelling and simulation can students get during the realization of their individual projects aimed to the development of the model of an electronic part; simulation of the basic parameters and the behaviour of this part, and presentation of the results.
