Analysis and Design of Electronic Circuits

Catalog description

Analysis and design of a variety of fundamental analog integrated microelectronic circuits at the transistor level and their practical applications to sensing and interfacing in a range of fields; life sciences, wireless communications, and computing. Elementary device physics and circuit characteristics of semiconductor diodes and MOS field effect transistors (FETs) as fundamental building blocks will be discussed. Concepts of noise and fundamental limits of sensing will also be discussed. Required Text: Fundamentals of Microelectronics, Wiley, Behzad Razavi, any edition (1st - 3rd). Prerequisites: ENGN 0520 or ENGN 1230 or with instructor permission.
