- Prerequisites: Knowledge of basic notions from physics courses, above all physical quantities, units of measurement, fundamental laws of mechanics, optics and electromagnetism.
- Objectives:
- LEARNING OUTCOMES: The course aims to provide students with the basic principles, physical laws, and applications of thermodynamics and heat transfer, with the dual purpose of preparing them to afford more applicative courses, and use the acquired knowledge for design and sizing simple components and thermal systems.
- KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: Students will have to understand the laws of applied thermodynamics and heat transfer, and understand the structure and operation of simplest components and systems. They will also demonstrate that they have acquired the basic methodologies for verifying and designing the studied devices.
- APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: Students should be able to size and/or verify simple components and systems, such as, for example engine systems.
- MAKING JUDGEMENTS: Students will have to acquire the autonomous ability to face subsequent studies for which this course is preparatory, and to draw up simple projects of thermal systems that use the components studied. They will also have to be able to evaluate projects drawn up by other parties, checking that the project specifications are respected. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: Students must be able to illustrate in a complete and exhaustive way the acquired information, the results of their study and of their project activity, also through the normally used means of communication (discussion of the results obtained, report on the performed activity, Power Point presentations, etc.).
- LEARNING SKILLS: Students must be able to apply the physical laws underlying the studied phenomena, and to face further studies that use the acquired knowledge. They will have to be able to expand the already owned information through the analysis of technical-scientific literature, and to modify their curricula choosing future knowledge to be acquired on the base of their knowledge and tendency.

Syllabus
Course Description: VLSI Systems Design
This course provides the methodological and practical skills required for the design of complex digital systems, ranging from theoretical foundations to implementation on programmable logic devices. The program is structured into two integrated modules.
Module 1: Digital Systems and Architectures (7 ECTS)
This module introduces the principles of digital electronics and circuit synthesis methodologies.
Foundations of Digital Electronics: Course introduction; Boolean algebra and expression minimization techniques (SOP canonical forms and Karnaugh maps).
Combinational Logic Circuits: Analysis and design of standard functional blocks (adders, subtractors, comparators, encoders/decoders, multiplexers/demultiplexers, shifters, and multipliers).
Sequential Logic and Digital Systems: Study of memory elements (latches, flip-flops) and design of registers, counters, and Finite State Machines (FSMs). Design considerations and integration of building blocks for digital systems.
Programmable Logic Devices: Overview and architecture of programmable devices (PROM, PLA, PAL, CPLD, and FPGA).
Module 2: VHDL Design and Simulation (2 ECTS)
This module provides the practical tools for hardware description and verification.
VHDL Language: Introduction to the fundamental constructs of the language for digital system modeling.
Simulation and Design: Methodologies for the design and functional verification of digital systems through simulation tools.
Final Project: Development of a digital design project to be presented during the final examination.
