Advanced Design Techniques for Analog Integrated Circuits
X411 (2 semester units in EE)
A requirement in the Professional Sequence in Integrated Circuit Design and Techniques
Advances in the signal processing, analog/digital conversion and continuingly scaling down of CMOS nanotechnology have ushered in the era of analog IC design with multi-standard challenges. This course is intended for working professionals who have no experience on analog IC design but are interested in building hands-on experience on optimized OPAMP design by employing the industry-standard simulation tools. Topics include stability of feedback, frequency compensation, multistage OPAMPs, and optimized CMOS OPAMP designs.
Note: this course features an English language web presentation accompanied by both an English language or Mandarin language soundtrack. The student can choose either soundtrack option at any time during the course. Mandarin-speaking students with limited English language skills may successfully complete the course.
