Analog IC design
Summary
Introduction to the design of analog CMOS integrated circuits at the transistor level. Understanding and design of basic structures.
Content
- Review of physics of bipolar and MOS transistor
- MOS transistor: operating modes, large and small signal models, parasitic effects
- Basic building blocks for linear analog integrated circuits: single-stage amplifiers, current mirrors, differential pairs, and cascodes
- Transistor-level design of operational amplifiers and operational transconductance amplifiers
- Frequency response of amplifiers
- Layout techniques for analog integrated circuits, variation effects
Keywords
