Analog and Discrete-Time Integrated Circuits

Aim

The purpose of the course is that the attendee should get:

• fundamental knowledge wrt. analysis and design of analog and discrete-time systems integrated ni CMOS technology for system-on-chips (SOCs)
• an understanding for the purpose and need of advanced computer-aided deisgn tools (CAD), i.e., different analysis and synthesis methodologies using computers.
• an ability to use simulation tools for circuit design
• describe the relationships between different parameters and performance measures for different types of integrated circuits and components.
• understand the influence due to limitations in performance of subcomponents on integrated filters, A/D and D/A converters
• specify OPs and OTAs to be used in larger systems
• perform charge analyses on SC circuits and understand the influence of non-ideal components on the transfer characteristics
• design integrated continuous-time filters given building blocks such as OPs, OTAs, switches, and more
• design integrated switched-capacitor filters
• describe the architecture and functionality of the most common types of A/D and D/A converters suitable for CMOS
• perform noise and distortion analysis on CMOS circuits and understand the impact on for example data converters
