Lectures

Chapter 1: An Introduction in Analog Integrated Circuit Design

• Applications and challenges for analog circuit design.
• Interface between analog and digital IC design.

Chapter 2: Integrated Circuit Devices and Models

• Necessary MOS and BIP semiconductor physics.
• Electrical behavior of passive devices (resistors, capacitors).
• MOS and BIP transistor models.

Chapter 3: Analog Layout Considerations

• Learn about analog layout and design rules.
• Layout considerations like matching and cross-coupling.

Chapter 4: Basic Transistor Circuits

• Analog design methodology and necessary math.
• Hand calculations and estimations on electrical circuits in time and frequency domain.
• Basic transistor circuits like amplifiers, current mirrors, cascodes, differential stages.

Labs and homework

Three different labs will be introduced during the Analog-1 lecture. The lab work will be done mainly during CAD lecture or as home work.

• Lab1: Transistor Device Models
• Lab2: Analog Design and Layout of a basic building block

Several examples will be presented during Analog-1 lecture which have to be solved as home work.
