No prerequisites, except those imposed by the general curriculum. However, it is recommended to have basic knowledge about the manufacture of integrated circuits.

The design of circuits and digital systems is an issue of crucial importance in today's society, whose technological base is based, to a large extent, on integrated circuits based on silicon MOSFET transistors. The subject addresses aspects of structured design, such as the circuit and systems test. The aim is to provide the student with a double perspective: on the one hand, the abstract vision of the design of integrated circuits; and on the other, the technological reality of the circuits of the moment.
