The Department
of Electronics Engineering of the UNIVERSITAT POLITECNICA
DE CATALUNYA is one of the largest Departments of the 42 constituting
the UPC. The more active research activities cover microelectronics
design and test, low power and low noise design, solid-state
devices and Microsystems, instrumentation, bioengineering
and power electronics. The VLSI design group has an extended
experience in research and development with international
recognition and has participated in several EU´s R&D
Programs such as ESPRIT, BRITE, GAME, EUROCHIP and EUROPRACTICE
and FUSE. Nationally, this group is actively participating
in the Microelectronics Program of the Information and Telecommunications
Technologies of the CICYT and has been recently awarded the
grant of "center of excellence" by the local government.
The team for the project is composed by a Professor and four
Titular professors working in the Division of Design and Test
of Electronic Circuits and Systems. This group of researchers
is well qualified internationally in the fields of Low Power
Design and Testability
implementations for CMOS circuits and systems. Dr. Figueras
is member of the Program
Committee of several international conferences including Design
and Test Conference in
Europe DATE, IEEE – VLSI Test Symposium, PATMOS, DCIS, and
member of the editorial
board of the Journal of Electronic Testing: Theory and Applications.
In the area of low power
design his work has been centered in the analysis and estimation
power consumption and
low power/energy design. The test activities of the group
in this domain were started in the
Projects EVEREST (ESPRIT II) and ARCHIMEDES (ESPRIT III- Basic
Research Action) where
the UPC had responsibilities in this area.
