ELEN 6312: Advanced Analog IC Design

This course covers the design of analog circuits with an emphasis on CMOS integrated circuit implementations. The following topics are covered in the class:

MOSFET modeling for analog circuit design
Single-stage Amplifiers
Differential Amplifiers
Active and Passive Current Mirrors
Frequency Response
Noise
Feedback
Operation Amplifiers
Stability and Frequency Compensation
Bandgap References
Switched Capacitor Circuits
Nonlinearity
Mismatch in Analog Circuits

The textbook for this class is the Design of Analog CMOS Integrated Circuits by Behzad Razavi.    

Computing Facilities Access

Machines can be accessed in person in Mudd at the VLSI lab or Microelectronic lab on the 12th floor. For access to the labs please contact John  Kazana at kazana at ee dot columbia dot edu
