Course Description

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.
