Projects – You decide on a project subject, which must be approved by Dr. Baker (link). Some examples of topics include: 1) design of all digital DLLs for use in SDRAM (include tutorial operation of SDRAM followed by why a DLL is needed in an SDRAM), 2) the use and design of synchronous mirror delays (what they are and how they work), 3) use of an over–damped PLL in place of DLL in SDRAM. Is this possible or practical? What are the benefits and drawbacks?, and 4) the use of self–biasing in the design of PLLs and DLLs,design of analog PLLs, a tutorial overview . I would prefer you come up with your own project topic since these are topics that were used in the previous times I taught this course.

***A presentation, in PDF format, is due to Dr. Baker at r.jacob.baker@unlv.edu by COB (close of business) on Monday, April 22, 2024.***

• Grade will be based on a presentation at the end of the semester to the class.
• Your presentation should be in ppt and tutorial in nature (to teach the class).
• I would like to record the presentation and post your ppt in PDF format online (if this is a problem please let me know)
• Presentation length is 30 minutes with and additional 5 minutes for questions
• Going longer than 30 minutes, or not giving a tutorial presentation will result in a lower grade  
• We will, hopefully, meet from 5:30 to 6:45 PM in SEB 1242 for the presentations.
