Abstract

This lecture prepares the students for mixed analog-digital IC design by providing a wide overview over analogue filters, amplifiers, and sigma-delta converters. The lecture is suitable for both analog and digital IC designers. The exam takes account of the different interests of the two groups.

Objective

This lecture prepares the students for mixed analog-digital IC design by providing a wide overview over analogue filters and amplifiers. The lecture is suitable for both analog and digital IC designers. The exam takes account of the different interests of the two groups.

Content

The theory and CMOS implementation of active Filters is discussed in detail using the example of Gm-C filters. A 1xDVD read channel filter is designed in a computer exercise. The theory of active filters is taken up again by discussing single-amplifier biquadratic filters. Theory and implementation of opamps, current conveyors, and inductor simulators follow. Finally, an introduction to switched-capacitor filters and circuits is given, including sensor read-out amplifiers, correlated double sampling, and chopping. These topoiucs form the basis for the discussion of sigma-delta A/D and D/A converters, which are portrayed as MAD filters in this lecture

Resources

Lecture Notes

The base for each two-hour lecture is a pubblished scientific paper. From this paper, we will develop the technical content together. Support material can be found in the book "Analog Integrated Circuit Design", David Johns und Ken Martin, John Wiley & Sons, 1997. This book is offered in the lecture at the student price, which is much lower than the market price.Further course material is provided free of charge.
