Digital Electronic Systems (SEDG-3005)
This course is mainly focussed on the study of microprocessors/microcontrollers and their application in the design of electronic systems. It extends the study of digital circuits presented in the course Circuitos Electrónicos Digitales with a new type of systems: programmable systems.
After a review of the basic concepts of computer architecture presented in the course Fundamentos de los Ordenadores, this course is structured around a specific microcontroller, the Motorola ColdFire MCF5272, which is used as a reference to introduce the main aspects of any system based on this or any other microcontroller.
Both, hardware and software issues, are covered in the lectures, including hardware connections, peripherals, timing considerations, and interruptions, as well as assembler programming. Deep knowledge of all these issues is a requirement for the follow up course Laboratorio de Sistemas Electrónicos Digitales.

Person-machine Dialogue Systems (SDPM 2)
This course is devoted to the study of the various modules involved in an interaction system or of human-machine dialog. Starting with an overview on dialogue systems and their problems, to go on to address the key modules that make it up, describing its operation, the research alterna-tives adopted to achieve optimal system performance and the problems of each.
Each of the modules will be started from a basic level and go up to describing the most ad-vanced algorithms and techniques with which we will get the most robust and reliable systems.
The course is based on lectures to acquire the desired skills, but it also includes a set of applica-tion case studies, specially selected, to be solved in common and that allow the application skills to be acquired.

EVALUATION PROCEDURE
Students complete the course with a final project of individual character to be presented publicly in English as part of activities to acquire transversal competences of documentation, communi-cation and publication.
The report must be presented in the typical format for IEEE conference papers (http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates....) with aim of encouraging the student, not only through the reading and interpretation of scientific and tech-nical documents, but also its correct wording.
The final project must be eminently practical, and in it should be applied some of the tech-niques described in the course, preferably, a problem that may be related to research or pro-fessional activity of the student.
The written report will be the 70% of the final grade. However, the teacher also will observe the ability of students to communicate effectively and concisely the technical information, knowledge, justifications, etc. and to answer the questions he may pose them. The oral presen-tation will be the 30% of the grade.
Microelectronics Laboratory (LDIM 2)
The ultimate objective is the practical realization of a complete design of a relatively complex circuit using commercial CAD tools for full custom design, all of Cadence:
- Schematic editing. Analog simulation. Editing and synthesis paths: Virtuoso.
- Layout verification (DRC and LVS): Assura
- Parasitic extraction: QRC
The laboratory will be in pairs in the laboratory of Building B (B-043). Each pair is assigned a desk to choose between morning or afternoon. Each time slot is three hours.
Practical works:
- Week 1: Introduction to Cadence work environment. Design, simulation and characterization of an inverter schematic. Design, simulation and characterization of two cell diagram basic NAND, NOR of two inputs or similar.

- Weeks 7, 8, 9 and 10: Completing the final practice, design, simulation, characterization and delineation of a block design chosen as final practice.
Teaching methodology
The course will run for 10 weeks in laboratory sessions practical. During the first three weeks sessions will be preceded by a short talk introducing theoretical issues of the course and the practical demonstrations.
Practices to week 6 are guided, you can follow step by step practice notes at your disposal. At the end of each session, students will make a brief report to work.
The final practice developed between weeks 7 and 10 is free and is intended to complete the design (layout) and characterization of a circuit of moderate complexity. Be offered several topics, but also encourages students to delve into any design theme full custom analog, digital or mixed.
To justify the work done, the corresponding files will be delivered to paths and a document of 3 to 6 pages in IEEE Conference format (preferably in Latex) including at least the following points:
- Summary (Abstract): Concise summary of the work performed and results obtained.
- Introduction (Introduction): Introduction to the problems and how to solve the circuit has been previously decided in the scientific literature.
- Functional description of the design (Functional Description of the Design).
- Destaller implementation (Implementation Issues).

The work was presented orally to other colleagues at the end of the course. The exposure of each job will last 10 minutes approximate. In the talk should be involved two team members.
The technical quality and originality of the final practice account for 40%.
The quality of the oral presentation and the memory of the final practice contribute 20% of the grade.
The remaining 10% comes from the student's demonstrated skills in the use of the work environment along the course.
Microsystems and Nanoelectronics (MSIS+NANO 2)
Current electronic systems include, in increasing numbers, sensors, actuators and interfaces with the user which tend to be, in turn, real micro-and nanosystems (MS and NS). This is more relevant in portable systems where improved performance, the user interfaces and energy aspects are promoting the use of nanoelectronics technology even in the parts of uptake and storage of electrical energy. The smart phones are certainly a paradigm of such trends. Other examples of social relevance are occurring in the area of biomedicine. The commercial availability of so-called "lab-on-a-chip", true MS and NS that integrate aspects of nanosensors, MS and integrated intelligence and routinely used in hospitals analytical and sensory implant developments are promoting new advances in MS and NS.
From a content perspective, the educational objectives can be grouped into three main blocks:
- Understand and review an overview of micro and nanoelectronics (NE), from the point of view of current applications, this market, and the ongoing potential applications, with special emphasis on electronic systems.
- Study the principles of operation and manufacturing of Microsystems and Nanoelectronics in the areas listed above. In this context we introduce the basic principles of nanotechnology that are required.
- Study of the presence of MS, NS and NE in current electronic systems in four initial areas, smart mobile phone, communications, high-speed internet, biomedicine, and generation / energy storage. This will allow comparative knowledge of different types of micro-electro-mechanical, acoustic, optical, electro-optical and (bio) chemical, and submit the presence of NE in the processing circuitry and storage.
From the standpoint of aptitude, the objectives of this course are to develop the ability to reflect and relate contents, the search, preparation and presentation of information, and the integration of knowledge work.
This course consists of two interrelated parts. The first part is devoted to the study of the fundamentals nanoelectronic and functionality of the various types of micro / nano-electronic current. The second part deals with the identification and comparative analysis of micro / nano-and nanoelectronic elements currently on loa advanced electronic systems. The initial systems for the study refer to portable terminals, high-speed communications, energy capture and storage and biomedicine. In connection with this second part of the course, each student must make a personal studio and oral and written presentation on MS, NS and Now or NE, after the preofesor Guided definition in any of the current SE scopes have ineteres for the student ..
