EE618 – CMOS Analog IC Design

The course deals with design of CMOS analog integrated circuits with focus on circuit design in modern CMOS technologies where functionality limitations arises due to short-channel effects. In this course, the fundamental analog circuit building blocks for advanced analog designs in RF and Mixed signal designs are analyzed thoroughly. The homeworks and course-projects in the course are designed to help students to acquire a hands-on design and layout experience on some of the key fundamental blocks of the analog design like current mirrors, differential amplifiers and Op-amp etc.

Course contents:

CMOS Device Fundamentals, CMOS small signal models, Basic CMOS Amplifiers, Current Mirrors, Differential Amplifiers, Frequency response of Amplifiers, Operational Amplifiers, Feedback, Stability and compensation techniques in op-amps, Common-mode feedback in op-amps, Noise analysis in circuits, Voltage reference design, Switched-Capacitor Circuits, Continuous Time Filters and Analog Layout Techniques.
