Catalog Description:

As applied t digital integrated circuits, the MDs transistor is studied in depth-from its fabrication to its electrical characteristics. Combinational, sequential, and dynamic logic circuits are considered. While the focus of the course is on CMOS technology, bipolar, nMOS, and BiCMOS circuits are introduced as well. SPICE is used as both an analysis and design tool. Semiconductor memory circuits are also discussed.

Learning Outcomes:

1. a basic knowledge of CMOS IC processing and layout. [4]
2. an understanding of CMOS inverter operation, both static and dynamic. [4]
3. an understanding of CMOS combinational logic circuit design and analysis. [1,2,4]
4. an understanding of basic CMOS arithmetic circuits. [1,2,4]
