INTRODUCTION TO ANALOG INTEGRATED CIRCUITS

Credit Hours: 3 · Undergraduate Upper-Level

There has been growing interest in analog computing in both academia and industry in the era of artificial intelligence. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to various aspects of modern analog integrated circuits. Students will learn how to 1) analyze, simulate and design a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) analog integrated circuit, 2) analyze and simulate elementary transistor stages, current mirrors, supply- and temperature-independent bias and reference circuits, and 3) explore performance evaluation using computer-aided design tools. Graduate/Undergraduate Equivalency: ELEC 516 . Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for ELEC 442 if student has credit for ELEC 516 .
