ECE6720

This course is an introduction to analog integrated circuit (IC) analysis and design. The class focuses on analysis and design of elementary single- and two-transistor stages commonly used in amplifiers, comparators, sample-and-hold circuits, etc. Students learn the fundamentals of feedback, electronic noise, and gm/ID design methodology. Design-oriented analysis techniques are used to bridge the gap between analysis and design. Students perform simulation, design, and circuit optimization using Cadence and Matlab (no layout or verification required). Graduate students only. Extra work required.
