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 and digital design are presented. Design of a functional integrated circuit from specification to verification and optimization will be completed in form of an industrial-like project and a professional project report. After passing the course the student should be able to:
- explain the main steps of a CMOS process
- understand and compare the analog and digital models of CMOS transistors
- 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 digital circuits based on different CMOS techniques
- design complex analog/digital system starting from simpler analog/digital circuits
- present project results in a professional written report and oral presentation.

Organisation:
Organisation:
The course is organized around a project task and includes lectures, classes and laboratory sessions in the first spring period. They intensively support the necessary ICs theory and specific design methodology. The laboratory sessions will be dedicated to small parts of the project or to relevant project examples while introducing the EDA-tool. The labs will be concluded by one short laboratory report. A project task will be formulated for each group.
The project will be carried out by groups of 2-3 students, mostly in the second part of the spring period through independent activity and optional project meetings with the supervisor. The course will end with the project presentation and a report. The report should evidence the complete design work and understanding of the subject and include relevant theory, system- and circuit-level design, e.g., schematics, simulation results followed by discussions and eventually by optimization. The project results will be concluded. The report should be written using a technical/scientific language and complete references should be properly chosen and listed.

Course contents:
CMOS transistor, from physical structure to electrical characteristics. Advanced analog ICs based on CMOS techniques, such as different types of current sources, amplifiers. Analog design techniques. Digital circuits based on different CMOS techniques. Combinational and sequential logic circuits. Digital design techniques. Mixed-signal circuits, such as comparators. Design of Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) circuits and other PLL-based circuits. Overview of analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog convertors in CMOS. Analog/digital systems design aspects. Using CAD tools for modelling of analog/digital systems. Different types of simulations. The design project relays on team building, project planning, study of scientific papers, independent project work. Moreover, the design of an analog/digital circuit will include circuit schematic capture, development of own simulation set-ups, verification and optimization of all subcircuits and, finally, of the entire system.
