Analog Integrated Circuit Design

An introductory course in analog circuit synthesis for microelectronic designers. Topics include: Review of analog design basics (i.e., noise analysis, frequency response, feedback and stability, biasing); transistor modeling for circuit design; linear and non-linear analog building blocks: harmonic oscillators, (static and dynamic) translinear circuits, wideband amplifiers, filters; physical layout (e.g., device matching) for robust analog circuits; design of voltage sources and references ranging from simple voltage dividers to high-performance bandgap references, and current source implementations from a single resistor to high-quality references based on negative-feedback structures. Quality aspects, such as accuracy, output/phase noise and impedance levels are treated within the context of power consumption and supply voltage requirements.
