Fundamentals of Analog Integrated Circuit Design Techniques

X410 (2 semester units in EE)

A requirement in the Professional Sequence in Integrated Circuit Design and Techniques

Gain the competitive advantage by learning how to analyze, simulate, and design a CMOS analog integrated-circuit. This course is intended for working professionals who have no strong foundation in analog design but are interested in either upgrading their knowledge and skills or redirecting career development in the semiconductor market. This course covers basic concepts, practices, and design skills used for analog ICs. Lectures covered include: Basic current mirrors, high-performance current mirrors, single-stage CMOS amplifiers, differential amplifiers, output stages, and short-circuit protection circuitry. 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.
