Course Description:

  • Syllabus (revised)
  • Treatment of transistor-level analog integrated-circuit (IC) design and analysis, covering necessary skills for entry-level industry jobs (e.g., @TI, BRCM, ADI, Intel etc.), with a strong emphasis on the CMOS technology to be in line with the current trend of the IC industry. Topics include MOSFET device models, single-stage MOS amplifiers, cascode amplifier, differential amplifier, current mirror, active loads, frequency response, two-stage amplifier and Miller compensation, feedback etc.
