Abstract
This course provides a foundation in analog integrated circuit design based on bipolar and CMOS technology.
Objective
This course provides a foundation in analog integrated circuit design.
Content
Review of bipolar and MOS devices and their small-signal equivalent circuit models; Building blocks in analog circuits such as current sources, active load, current mir- rors, supply independent biasing etc; Amplifiers: differential amplifiers, cascode amplifier, high gain structures, output stages, gain bandwidth product of op-amps; Stability; Comparators; Second-order effects in analog circuits such as mismatch, noise and offset; A/D and D/A converters; Analog multipliers; Introduction to switched capa- citor circuits; Oscillators. The exercise sessions aim to reinforce the lecture material by well guided step-by-step design tasks. The circuit simulator SPECTRE is used to facilitate the tasks. There is also an experimental session on op-amp measur- ments.
