/Analoga och tidsdiskreta integrerade kretsar/

For:   D   ELE   I   Ii   IT   Y  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 52
Rec. self-study hours: 108

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Electrical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
The purpose of the course is that the attendee should get:
  • fundamental knowledge wrt. analysis and design of analog and discrete-time systems integrated ni CMOS technology for system-on-chips (SOCs)
  • an understanding for the purpose and need of advanced computer-aided deisgn tools (CAD), i.e., different analysis and synthesis methodologies using computers.
  • an ability to use simulation tools for circuit design

After the course is completeted, the students should be able to:
  • describe the relationships between different parameters and performance measures for different types of integrated circuits and components.
  • understand the influence due to limitations in performance of subcomponents on integrated filters, A/D and D/A converters
  • specify OPs and OTAs to be used in larger systems
  • perform charge analyses on SC circuits and understand the influence of non-ideal components on the transfer characteristics
  • design integrated continuous-time filters given building blocks such as OPs, OTAs, switches, and more
  • design integrated switched-capacitor filters
  • describe the architecture and functionality of the most common types of A/D and D/A converters suitable for CMOS
  • perform noise and distortion analysis on CMOS circuits and understand the impact on for example data converters


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Signals and Systems, Analog construction, Analog CMOS Integrated Circuits

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Supplementary courses:
Mixed-signal processing systems

Organisation:
The course is organized in lectures, lessons, and computer-aided group exercises.

Course contents:
  • Integrated circuit components, such as PMOS and NMOS transistors, capacitors, switches, current sources
  • Analysis with respect to feedback and stability.
  • Integrated active filters.
  • Integrated switched-capacitor filters: charge-redistribution, error sources, switches, transfer functions.
  • Performance measures: Noise. Spectral density. Distortion.
  • Integrated data converters: Integrated analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters.

Computer simulations, PRA1 The student will together with other students in smaller groups hand in a compilation of their own work concerning circuit simulation exercsies. Note that the group exercises constists of a combined suite of laboratories. The report is the concluding, examination document. The schedule laboratories are resource hours and the students have to plan their own time.
Written exam (TENA) During the lectures five quizzes will be handed out. The answers will be returned during the same lecture. Out of five quizzes one can maximally obtain three points. These points can be accounted for in the written exam. The written exams contains of five exercises totalling 25 points. With correct quizzes, the student can obtain a total of 28 points. The grading is: 10p: 3, 15p: 4, 20p: 5.
