Prerequisite:

ELEN E4312.

Qualified student must have a very good understanding of circuit analysis, electronics, electronic devices and models, and analog circuit design.

Students need to be familiar with circuit simulation (Spectre/Hspice) and CAD tools (Cadence design environment).

This class will cover advanced topics in analog integrated circuit design. This class should not be your fist analog design class.

Please check the detailed list of pre-requisite topics. If you are in doubt that you have the necessary preparation for this course, please contact the instructor!

Course Topics

Please take a look at the Textbook section for a detailed topic list.

Main focus will be on CMOS design.
MOS operation (weak, moderate, strong inversion),
Basic transistor stages with low voltage supplies.
Single ended and fully differential operational amplifier analysis and design: telescopic, folded cascode, two-stage OTA, common-mode feedback.
Switched capacitor 2x amplifier: time-domain settling; switch design and non-idealities.
Stability and frequency compensation techniques (differential & common mode).
Noise in circuits; low-noise design.
Device Mismatch and its impact on circuit performance.
Temperature- and supply-independent biasing.

Textbook:

We do not formally follow a textbook but use a combination of instructor's notes and technical papers. A lot of the material is available from (see the Textbook section):

Design tools

State-of-the-art computer-aided analysis techniques are extensively used. An extensive design project is an integral part of the course.
