Analog Integrated Circuits

Catalog description

Design of analog circuits and subsystems using primarily MOS technologies at the transistor and higher levels. Transistor level design of building block circuits such as op amps, current references, capacitors and resistor and class AB output stages. The Cadence Design System will be used to capture schematics and run simulations using Spectre for some homework problems and for the course project. Topics of frequency response, stability, noise, and device matching through good layout practice will also be covered. Students who take ESE 4190 will not be able to take ESE 5720 later. Prerequisite: If course requirement not met, permission of instructor required.
