Because of the strategic importance of SoC/IP design in the years ahead, the goal of the SoC program at UBC is to train the next generation of chip designers in SoC design from systems to silicon. The research program is focused on mixed-signal SoC design, verification and test.
The program involves a number of faculty members in ECE and CS, and partnerships with Canadian Microelectronic Corporation (CMC), PMC-Sierra and other companies involved in SoC design.
