CMOS Analog IC Design

ECE59500

Credit Hours:

3

Learning Objective:

A student who successfully fulfills the course requirements will have demonstrated:

  • a basic knowledge of bias circuit using CMOS current mirror
  • a basic knowledge of noise analysis
  • an understanding of single stage amplifiers - gain/bandwidth/noise/stability
  • an understanding of different Op-amp and OTA
  • an understanding of feedback circuit
  • and understanding of basic active filter

Description:

The course covers general topics in CMOS analog IC design; biasing, noise, single stage amplifiers, Op-Amp, OTA, frequency domain analysis, and active filter. While the focus of the course is on CMOS IC design, design in bipolar and BiCMOS technologies are introduced as well. A design project is a key component of the course. The students conduct a group or individual design project. Process Design Kit and EDA tools are provided for the design project.

Topics Covered:

Lectures Topics
1 CMOS device physic review
3 Spice models and layout
2 Current Biasing
2 Voltage reference
5 Noise analysis
7 Single stage amplifiers
6 OTA and Op-amp design
4 Gain boosting and bandwidth extension
4 Feedback
4 Stability and compensation
1 Integrated active filter design
3 Switched capacitor filter design

 

Prerequisites:

General knowledge of terminology and concepts from undergraduate courses in circuit design and microelectronics; familiarity with SPICE
