TSTE08 Analog and Discrete-Time Integrated Circuits, 6 ECTS credits.
/Analoga och tidsdiskreta integrerade kretsar/

For:   COE   D   I   Ii   IT   SOC   Y  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 48
Rec. self-study hours: 112

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Electrical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
The purpose of the course is:
  • to give basic knowledge in analysis and design of analog and discrete-time integrated circuits integrated in CMOS technology.
  • to give understandings for the importance and the need of CAD, i.e., computer-aided analysis and synthesis methods.
    After passing the couse the students should be able to:
    • describe how a CMOS transistor works in different operational regions
    • design a transistor to get specified Q-point
    • describe the relationship between different design parameters and measures of performance
    • analyze CMOS-amplifiers and current mirrors from a large signal as well as from a small signal point of view
    • derive different types of measures of performsance for differential amplifiers
    • analyze and design OP- and OTA-amplifiers
    • perform charge analysis on SC-circuits and predict influence of parasitic capacitors
    • design SC-filters starting from passive time continuos filters
    • describe construction and function of AD- and DA-converters implemented in CMOS-technique
    • perform noise analysis of CMOS-circuits
    • use Cadence to design and implement circuits on lay-out level


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Circuit Theory and Analog 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.

Organisation:
