The module will introduce tools and methodologies for the design of advanced digital circuits. Techniques to improve performance (pipelining, clock domain crossing, etc). and to design testable circuits (verification, fault models, design for testability, etc.) will be developed and, where possible, implemented in lab exercises.

After successful completion of this module, students will:
Be able to concisely and accurately report the results of experiments
The lab reports are submitted in two installments so that feedback on the first set can be provided in time for the second hand-in.
The first is in week six of the Spring term, the second in week one of the Summer term.

'Feedback’ at a university level can be understood as any part of the learning process which is designed to guide your progress through your degree programme. We aim to help you reflect on your own learning and help you feel more clear about your progress through clarifying what is expected of you in both formative and summative assessments.
A comprehensive guide to feedback and to forms of feedback is available in the Guide to Assessment Standards, Marking and Feedback. This can be found at https://www.york.ac.uk/students/studying/assessment-and-examination/guide-to-assessment/
The Department of Electronic Engineering aims to provide some form of feedback on all formative and summative assessments that are carried out during the degree programme. In general, feedback on any written work/assignments undertaken will be sufficient so as to indicate the nature of the changes needed in order to improve the work. Students are provided with their examination results within 20 working days of the end of any given examination period. The Department will also endeavour to return all coursework feedback within 20 working days of the submission deadline. The Department would normally expect to adhere to the times given, however, it is possible that exceptional circumstances may delay feedback. The Department will endeavour to keep such delays to a minimum. Please note that any marks released are subject to ratification by the Board of Examiners and Senate. Meetings at the start/end of each term provide you with an opportunity to discuss and reflect with your supervisor on your overall performance to date.
Notes and readings will be provided in class.
