This course deals with the analysis and design of CMOS analog integrated circuits. The course consists of three essential components: theory, laboratory and project. The theoretical component consists of: characterization of analog integrated circuits in frequency and time domains; layout techniques for analog MOS devices; building blocks of CMOS analog integrated circuits and their characteristics, particularly noise and high-frequency characteristics; voltage and current reference circuits; voltage operational amplifiers; current operational amplifiers; switched-capacitor circuits and their applications in telecommunications; voltage and current comparators; ring oscillators and voltage-controlled oscillators; advanced topics on design of low-voltage high-speed CMOS integrated circuits including impedance matching, bandwidth boosting techniques, low-voltage design techniques and voltage-mode versus current-mode designs. The laboratory component consists of design and simulation CMOS voltage and current amplifiers. The third essential component of the course is the project. Students are required to complete a given or self-initiated design projection CMOS analog or mixed analog-digital integrated circuits with a professionally prepared project report. Lect: 3 hrs./Lab: 2 hrs. Prerequisites: COE 514 or ELE 504 Course Weight: 1.00 Billing Units: 1
