For:   EL  

 

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

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Electrical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G2

Aim:
The purpose is to give
  • basic knowledge in analysis and design of analog and discrete-time circuits connected on a circuit board
  • to give knowledge about different types of A/D- and D/A-converters and their usage
  • to give knowledge about interconnects, termination of wires and load, dimensioning of circuits
  • to give knowledge about noise and distortion
After the student has passed the course the student should be able to:
  • Describe CMOS-transistors in different operation modes
  • Describe the relationship between different design parameters and performance metrics
  • Analyze amplifiers from small- and large-signal points of view
  • Determine different types of performance measures for analog circuits
  • Describe different types of A/D- and D/A-converters and their functions
  • Describe different methods for terminating wires/connecting chips
  • Describe different types of noise and distortion, and also determine different type of noise- and distortion metrics.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Knowledge of basics in circuit theory, linear systems, and electronics.

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:
The course has lectures, lessons, and computer-based group exercises.

Course contents:
Introduction to CMOS technology: Integrated circuit components, such as PMOS and NMOS transistors, capacitors. Analyze one-stage amplifiers and operational amplifiers from a small signal point of view as well as from a large signal point of view. Determine different types of performance measures for differential amplifiers. D/A-converters: Different types, transfer functions, determine of output signal, offset errors. A/D-converters: Different types, quantization errors, comparators, resolution. Termination of wires: different techniques, high frequency systems, reflection. Noise: Different types, spectral density, noise bandwidth, models and metrics of noise, noise in devices. Distortion: Quantization, aliasing, bandwidth, and harmonic distortion.

Course literature:
For the first lectures material will be distributed and in addition, the literature will be given on the course homepage before start. Suggestions on litterature are: * Howard Johnsson and Martin Graham, "High Speed Digital Design: A Handbook of Black Magic" * David Johns and Ken Martin, "Analog Integrated Circuit Design" * Eric Bogatin, "Signal and Power Integrity - Simplified" where the first mentioned one is the most important.

Examination:
A written examination
Laboratory work
Optional assignments
4,5 ECTS
1,5 ECTS
0 ECTS
 
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.
