Fundamentals of Analog Integrated Circuit Design

(3 Credits)

The course will begin by providing a device-oriented overview of integrated circuits and silicon fabrication processes and their ramifications on the transistor models. Subsequently, we will discuss various amplifier topologies in ICs using these devices, and also examine in detail topics such as frequency response, linearity, biasing, feedback, operational amplifiers, compensation, and noise. The blocks and circuit architectures discussed in this course are the core components of most integrated systems and essential in applications such as communications, multimedia, imaging, sensors, and biomedical. | Prerequisites: Graduate Standing or EE-UY 3124 and cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher (Undergraduate students)
