Summary

This course deals with the analysis, design, and optimization of CMOS analog circuits, emphasizing low-power solutions required in a broad range of applications (e.g., IoT, wearables, Biosensors ...). Some examples of mixed-signal design are also addressed.

Content

  • Introduction: Low-Power AMS design and application (IoT, Wearable, Sensors, Healthcare,  )
  • MOS Transistor: Modelling, Operation, and trade-offs
  • Voltage references and regulators
    • Supply and temperature-independent biasing
    • Low-Voltage solution
  • Operational-Amplifiers:
    • Applications (Amplification, Filtering, and Regulation)
    • Frequency analysis and Stability
    • Noise, Offset, and Mismatch
    • Filly Differential and common mode feedback
    • LV solution: Rail to Rail Amp.
  • Mixed-Signal Design examples:
    • Digital calibration of analog circuits
    • Comparators
    • Practical aspects in MS-SOC
