ECE 5720 - Analog Integrated Circuit Design

Meets with ECE/CS 6720. This course is an introduction to analog integrated circuit (IC) analysis and design. The course focuses on elementary single- and two- transistor stages commonly used in amplifiers, comparators, sample-and-hold circuits, etc. Students learn the fundamentals of feedback and electronic noise, and the basics of gm/ID design methodology. Design-oriented analysis techniques are covered to bridge the gap between analysis and design. Students perform simulation, design, and optimization using Cadence and Matlab.
