Analog and Digital Circuit Design

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

IC - University of Galway, Ireland: The course provides in-depth coverage of the analysis and synthesis of electronic circuits, including coverage of both analog and basic digital circuit functional blocks, with a focus on CMOS implementations. The design of multi-stage, differential and feedback amplifiers, wave-shaping circuits, logic gates, and mixed-signal concepts will be discussed. Specific topics include analysis and design of multi-stage transistor amplifiers, determination and control of frequency response and stability (through compensation techniques) of multi-stage amplifiers, study of feedback amplifiers and oscillators, design of nonlinear oscillators and wave-shaping circuits, design and analysis of CMOS-based combinatorial logic, and computer-aided design and analysis techniques.
