Course Description:

  • Syllabus
  • This course covers important topics in analog IC design at graduate level not sufficiently taught in a first introductory course, including a rigorous treatment of noise, feedback, and distortion in analog circuits. Common-mode feedback in CT and DT differential amplifiers, CMOS active-cascode gain stage, two-port and return-ratio feedback analyses, noise analysis in sampled circuits, etc. will be covered in detail. Selected topics from other advanced topics such as switched-capacitor circuit, continuous-time filter, oscillator, or phase-locked loop (PLL) will be covered when time allows. Extensive computer simulations are required in homework assignments.

Textbook:

No textbook is required. Lecture notes, slides, and papers will be posted. The following reference texts are recommended as supplementary readings for the course.
