Valid for year : 2011
 
TNE026 Analog/Digital System Design, 6 ECTS credits.
/Analog/digital systemkonstruktion/

For:   ED   WNE  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 44
Rec. self-study hours: 116

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Electrical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
The course provides theoretical and practical depth in the development of digital/analog systems with the aid of advanced Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software. The course reinforces and further develops analog and digital circuit theory, while it also gives a practical introduction to design and fabrication of Integrated Circuits (ICs) using CMOS technologies. Techniques for analog, digital and time-discrete analog design are presented. After passing the course the student should know:
    Explain the main steps of a CMOS process.
  • Understand and compare the analog and digital models of a CMOS transistor.
  • Describe the relationships between physical and electrical characteristics of a MOS transistor and explain their effect on different transistor parameters, such as time delay, maximum frequency of operation, power consumption.
  • Analyze and compare advanced analog ICs based on CMOS techniques, such as different types of current sources, amplifiers, filters and comparators.
  • Analyze and compare simple digital circuits based on different CMOS techniques.
  • Explain the process of designing complex analog/digital systems starting from simpler analog/digital circuits.
  • Present project results in written form (technical report).
