About the course
Aim
This course is intended to give knowledge and experience in design of analog integrated circuits for system-on-chip in CMOS technologies. After the course, students should have the following knowledge and skills:
- Understand CMOS circuit design challenges and possibilities.
- Be able to make small and large signal models for analysis of analog integrated circuits.
- Have in-depth knowledge and skill in analysis, design, and evaluation of analog integrated circuits such as amplifiers and other versatile analog building blocks.
- Have skill and experience in using professional circuit simulators for design and evaluation of integrated circuits in presence of noise as well as process, voltage, and temperature variations.
Content
The course will focus on the following topics:
- Small and large signal models for analysis of analog integrated circuits.
- Design, analysis, and evaluation of analog CMOS integrated circuits. As a representative benchmark, various types of amplifiers, current sources, and other versatile circuit building blocks will be studied. The circuit analyses will take into account non-ideal effects such as noise and variations in process parameters, supply voltages, and operating temperature.
- Use of professional circuit simulators for design, analysis, and evaluation of integrated circuits.
