Techniques of Informatics and Microelectronics for integrated systems Architecture

TIMA (Techniques de l’Informatique et de la Microélectronique pour l’Architecture des systèmes intégrés) is a public joint research laboratory of the CNRS, Grenoble-INP and UGA (Shared Research Unit #5159). TIMA is a multinational team, with members and interns from all over the world. A large proportion of the research is performed in the context of cooperative projects with industrial and academic partners, supported by regional, national and European grants.

The research topics of TIMA cover the specification, design, verification, test, CAD tools and design methods for integrated systems, from analog and digital components on one end of the spectrum, to multiprocessor Systems-on-Chip together with their basic operating system on the other end.

Research topics:

  • Robustness, reliability and test
  • Hardware/Software co-design
  • Simulation and verification
  • Low power design
  • Hardware security and embedded trust
  • Asynchronous design
  • New sampling and data processing techniques
  • MEMS, Smart Sensors and Actuators
  • Design of AMS/RF/mmW devices, circuits and systems
  • Modeling, control and calibration of AMS/RF devices, circuits and systems
  • New hardware computing and digital design
